Having just written this little story below about Ed, I began thinking afresh about the plight of those less fortunate than myself. The image above resulted in that meditation. It is entitled "STOP," and can be interpreted in many ways. Stop hunger, stop injustice, stop prejudice, stop discrimination, stop thinking of yourself… and the list could go on.

In June this year the Coalition for Homelessness Intervention and Prevention, based in Indianapolis reported that Indiana family homelessness was up 78% over 2008. I of course list Indianapolis as this is the closest city to where I am living. The National Alliance to End Homelessness website has some staggering figures and many resources for those who are interested in looking further at this growing problem. Due to the economy these figures are only growing.

While I am not suggesting we all go out and find an 'Ed,' we can do something to relieve the suffering of so many people. Think about it. If you could change the life of one person, would you do it?

The image above is shown is 10.25 x 40 inches and is viewable in the FOR SALE link. If anybody would like to purchase this, 80% of the money will go towards our local Homeless Shelter Ministry in Evansville or a place of your choosing. Just let me know. I am doing this far below cost. Thanks for your consideration. Together we CAN make some difference. For any interested person who would like to see this at a larger size, please contact me and I can send you a copy of the file which shows a lot more detail.
