Welcome and shocking news

I'm starting this blog as part of my Kingdom Assignment. More details later.

For now, have a look at another blog about homelessness in Los Angeles that I found a few days ago.

I heard some shocking news on TV yesterday (I usually don't watch the news, but we happened to have them on yesterday). Hospitals dump patients they discharge and even out of county police dump unwanted people at Skid Row in Los Angeles! They showed how a confused woman had been dropped of by taxi and was walking around aimlessly. Fortunately, a worker at the Union Rescue Mission picked her up. An executive from the hospital apologized later, but I wonder how much this kind of thing is happening!
