Once in NYC, I saw a drunk and dirty man lying in the sidewalk outside a restaurant. The owner of the business was trying to get the man to leave, since he was not an appetizing advertisement for the restaurant. I felt pity for him and wondered why someone didn't come to his aid. Why didn't I?kenjuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342414519714356343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-36418232655619038882007-05-23T00:18:00.000-04:002007-05-23T00:18:00.000-04:00powerful.that's all I can say about this picture.powerful.<BR/><BR/>that's all I can say about this picture.Kylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02044238971158399976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-21094080542774870092007-05-22T23:05:00.000-04:002007-05-22T23:05:00.000-04:00No need to publish this comment... just wanted to ...No need to publish this comment... just wanted to remind you since you've so much going on...

She said that even though she could not give beggars money, she would always acknowledge them. I've never forgotten that.<BR/><BR/>Here in Atlanta, we have a severe homeless problem. People wander into our store all the time who ask for money. I cannot give them money, but when I remind them of the services available, they refuse them. Many are slaves to the drug and/or alcohol addiction, and do not want help. What can I do but pray for them?Jefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11543099078178831250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-44997102609187251052007-05-22T01:15:00.000-04:002007-05-22T01:15:00.000-04:00You strike me as someone who could tell a few of t...You strike me as someone who could tell a few of their stories, Carmi.<BR/>Very touching and painful photo. <BR/>Very striking also.<BR/><BR/>I posted a bit of a photo safari on my blog, and you may enjoy some of the photos. :)<BR/><BR/>~SShephardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07318615370914088651noreply@blogger.com
