The least and the greatest....

I don't really have anything new to say, which is a disappointment. I'd LIKE to be able to say that the number of homeless people has dropped in Long Beach (and everywhere!) but the numbers from the homeless count are not out yet...and I have a hunch they won't be down. Just looking around, it seems to me that there are more people out there in need than every before. The "least" does not refer to the "smallest number" but rather to those with the smallest amount of power.

It is to this "least" that a society with any heart at all should be reaching. Yes, the job seems impossible at times, the barriers insurmountable. Yet what has been called the "greatest" of emotions--love--surely has the power to reach anyone, anywhere...even to the very least.
