The room is full of people in need of hope. All of us have just experienced some kind of loss. For most, it was a job loss. For my husband & me, it was a loss of almost everything. What a blessing it is to have a place where all of us can come each Monday at 9:00 am as though it is a job, and in a sense, it is.<\/p>\n

Even if they sound like they have happened not with me & not in this world, I still have to put them on paper. Let\u2019s do it!
