97. Thank you, dotymed. I appreciate that more than you know.
Yesterday I was listening to Jesse Jackson, and was inspired by his guests on this very topic. They blasted the churches, the seminaries, and our secular leaders for not doing what they KNOW is right on poverty, and urged everyone to keep holding their feet to the fire.

I can tell you that I hear a lot from the few here who are working on poverty issues that they, too, get so discouraged and want to just quit. I hear from poor people who have lost all hope and are just waiting to die. Those PMs and emails just tear my heart out.

We need people like you to join with us! We are gasping for breath.....
