If a person knocked on your door and asked for food and water, what would you do?
It's cold out there and I feel sorry for all those homeless people out there.

I have been homeless ,and taken in by some very kind people that seen my potential and helped me turn my life around ,,
From sleeping in a hobo camp to back on stage with an album/tape with my name on the cover and a picture of me standing in front of an actual waterfall in a matter of months (3 months in the studio )
Hell how could I not help
More than likely they would be moving into the spare room
I have helped a lot of people before then ,and a lot of people since
But before I was homeless it was different
I only gave change and assumed they would use it to buy alcohol and drugs with it,but now I know some do buy wine or a quart of beer ,smokes
But many are to proud to eat at the mission ,so they hussle
They are on the streets like myself due to no fault of their own
Medical ,or mental illness ,the housing crash ,or the stock market
people have no clue how many hard working people lost their jobs and homes during those trying times in America ,and how we were headed for a depression
and they also forget who turned things around ,,
But I know first hand how people love you when you are rich and making them rich ,and in a heart beat ,you find your self divorced ,homeless
living disabled on the streets ,,its a scary place to be when all you have ever known is privilege and comfort ,and now all your wisdom ,and here you are sleeping in the sleet and cold on a sheet of cardboard ,,feet from where wino's pee
I help and praise God I am able to ,and grateful He sent angels to get me off the streets and make a star of me again
This time ,,,,serving God and singing the songs I wrote
not the ones AC/DC or Judas Priest wrote
About the highway to hell ,and metal gods
I now sing about a King that saved me ,and the people still praying for the lost
Thank you Jacobs Ministry ,,Hendersonville NC ,,,for all the people you feed
I was one of them ,,,and I learned ,,I'm still giving back
