Surely you should break your bread for the hungry, and bring the moaning poor to your home; when you see a naked person, clothe him...then your light will burst out like the dawn and your healing will speedily sprout; your righteous deed will precede you and the glory of the Lord will gather you in.
Isaiah 58:7-8
Very poignant. I understand Kentucky is among the worst, this scenario unfortunately is alive and thriving in many communities through out the United States. We must hold our elected officials accountable in meeting the needs of every person they represent. In taking care of our "weakest link", it is then we become strong.
