We've learned about a blind man who is coming to our church now. He's an older man, probably even older than me. Lives alone in rather deplorable conditions. But full of the joy of the Lord. Don't know how he manages to get himself to church, but the pastor's nephew always walks him back home. Sleeps on the floor in a tiny, one room place. No electricity. Doesn't need to be able to see. Lights a little bush lamp when visitors come after dark. Other than his mattress on the floor, he has an old sack of cement that he uses for a chair. Not sure how he manages to eat. Now that we know he exists, we are talking about ways we can help him. We have an old blanket and an extra pillow to share. We're in the process of learning more about his needs. And about how we can meet some of those needs.
