At My Friend's House

My Friend's House exists to follow the teachings of Jesus about feeding the hungry, clothing those who need it, and the other things He listed in Matthew. We know that we cannot be all things to all people, so we try to do some of the little things for as many as we can. At this point in time, we operate a small homeless shelter. It won't hold a lot of folks, but hopefully will help a few. Feel free to contribute to the Blog, to ask questions or make comments. Thanks for joining us.

Another Beautiful Sunshiny Day, But Not A Housemoving Day

Unfortunately, the housemover had a sad event in his family. They need our prayers, and later on, the house will get moved.

In the meantime, things go on at My Friend's House. We have one semi-permanent resident, even if we really don't have a shelter. We will call him Fred. He helps out around the place, and is a model of a job searcher. He had a situation that didn't work out, and showed up at our front door a couple of weeks ago, referred by someone he met at the bus station. Yesterday he apparently found a job, and hopefully will work enough to find himself a place to stay.

The picture was taken in the front hallway, or foyer, of My Friend's House. If you like old houses (this one was built in 1875) and would like to own a large house in downtown Marshall, Texas, come look at it. It is for sale, as we plan to move everything to our place when the shelter gets ready. We really cannot afford to maintain both, at this stage.
