The rich man had no excuse as Lazarus sat right outside his gate. He can’t claim that he didn’t know or didn’t see the poor. Sound familiar? “I don’t know any poor.” We live in the suburbs so we don’t have to see the poor. We applaud laws that keep the homeless from sleeping where we can see them

She is almost ninety years old, and apparently she's BEAUTIFUL. I am a Chaplain in an aged care facility and I meet a lot of 90 year olds. Some look pretty good for their age but SARAH catches your attention. The perfect Hollywood star, aging gracefully and looking years younger without the use of
