Serving others. Helping others. Living for others. Caring for others. That's what our faith is all about.

It's been more like "Give a man a fish, you'll feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and then you can sell him fishing equipment." That's been the case the last eight years. Not enough giving or teaching. It's all me, me, me.

So Shannon the SWMHP approach of requiring home buyers to attend classes on home ownership, and that there exists an expectation for keeping the maintance of the home and property up, these things somehow do not fall under your understanding of "Teach"?

Jay C, is is not call sin its called bing self sufficiant, something that you apparently have no concept of. Jesus was not looking to the Romans to house him. I am too busy worring about putting food on my own table to be concerned about anyone else. since you dont mind helping and feeding others, why dont youpast your phine number and i will call you whrn i meed groceries or a babysitter. I guess wanting to take care of yourself and family first makes me a sinner.....so be it. if you study your history Willmar has been doing this since it incorperated in 1901. some things never change.
