We hereby pledge:
- To spend intimate, quantity time with our family.
- To actively help the poor, the sick, the lonely, and the helpless.
- To value, protect, and advocate for children.
- To de-emphasize the importance of “stuff” in our lives.
- To bring publicity to good causes and good people.
- To live with intentionality, as if this year was our very last.
- To observe the needs in our country/community – and then do something about them.
- To give – every day.
I don't know of a re-entry program in this community (I'm ashamed to admit that!) but I did know of one in the place I lived before - and I think these programs are key to helping those who want to be helped to learn how to support themselves as honest members of society.
It was a joy to have Tim and his lovely family visit with us. May God bless you on you journey.
Duryea - Thank you for sharing your story with us and for the tour.
