[Faith-talk] Another leg of the journey for Jenni

[Ericka]

I think in this particular case Illinois is just so corrupt that everybody has lost their minds. I don't think she's actually ask her local congregation for any kind of assistance or leads to help. I think she's going to call Catholic charities Monday. I totally agree with you Linda that in general society has become such a me oriented place that they have forgotten how important other people are. Chad and I are trying to help so she isn't completely alone.

Now everyone expects the government, using whatever agency, to take care of them, and the churches can't, and they don't know what to do when a need arises.  The Bible commands that churches take care of their own, but most don't anymore.  May God help her, and soon, but of course in His own time!

She has a good church and friends and obviously a very kind building manager that helps her.  If I found doctors that I trusted it would be tough for me to uproot and leave them as well.
