Spent most of today walking in some neighborhoods that one of our group described as like being in the "third world", and yet there was also signs of progress, signs of hope and incredibly gracious people. But, I couldn't help thinking that these neighborhoods looked just like the ones I had seen pictures of on TV when I was in my teens, and Bobby Kennedy was walking among the people. There has been no victor in the "war on poverty".
Among the many trailers and old rotting properties, there are a few that are small miracles - often built by church groups from other states, the national guard or other groups. But, it seems to be completly random as to which house owner receives a miracle, and which just tries to hang on!
