"Howard"

There are more than 15,000 homeless people in the Twin Cities, over 50% are children (that's the size of Stillwater).
     Last December, while on a memorial march for the 96 homeless people who had died on the streets of Minnesota in 2002, I met Howard -- a homeless man.  As we walked and talked together, he noticed I didn't have any gloves.  He tried to give me his gloves.  I was deeply touched by his generosity.  It is said, "Our God is a generous God, he will not be outdone in generosity." Howard is an example of God's generosity; St. John's parishioners are also an example of God's generosity. 
Please keep those socks and blankets coming, folks!  Be kind to strangers because in so doing you might be entertaining angels!

P.S. Have your guests bring a six-pack to Thanksgiving Dinner -- socks that is!
