<DIV>If I may offer a warning Posh. Be careful of up and donating new clothing.
I have a friend who had that happened and he was so embarrassed he quit coming
to that Church, because he couldn't be seen around those people. He felt that
they all looked down on him with sympathy. Just an FYI. Ever since that
happened, I have been very careful on how I present anything now. I don't ever
want to be the one to scare someone away. Please be careful on how you do
that.</DIV>

<DIV>Maybe alot of you didn't get a chance to look over the past couple of
emails. But alot of them give evidence to the fact that we all agree that it
is ones heart condition. But as been said from me, the clothes thing is what
you can give whole heartedly. If I see a brother or sister who has tatered
clothing for a couple of times. I would go out of my way to donation clothes
to them. SHowing the love we should, also not to cause them more imbarresment
if that is all they have. Because if I have extra money to spend, I
would on them then myself. </DIV>

the church that I attend, there is a family that looks like they are
dirt<BR>poor. They come dressed really nice, but the clothes are all worn
and<BR>battered and look like a Salvation Army special. Regardless, the
clothes<BR>are clean and the children volunteer to carry the cross and the
parents<BR>volunteer to do set up, etc. It doesn't matter how one is
dressed.<BR><BR>Yolanda Cruz<BR>Office Manager/Executive

there is two homeless people who come into our church,<BR>dirty, smelly and
they sit and listen to the service...no one turns them<BR>away because they
are dirty or smelly...and no they can't afford to buy<BR>clothes...does it
