What does each of us is just one paycheck away from homelessness mean?

It means just what it says, I always say it this way, "But for the grace of God there go I...

Losing your job and not being able to make it finacially could happen to any of us and if you don`t have family to go to, then you (might) be living on the streets. Though most of us have some one whether it be a friend or church member. I think their are some, that choose this life style, they just don`t want the responsibility. But I am greatful everyday for being able to live in a home, not a mansion, mind you, but it`s warm and dry. I have food to eat, a soft bed to sleep in. I can`t imagine how scary that would be. But for me who`s son has cancer, it would be terrified. I thank God everyday that I am able to pay my bills.

In this economy, none of us really know what might happen in the next moment, be it as I say the economy or some disaster. Sort of off subject there but terrorists do exist and we might all end up with no where to go, or in hiding, or even communial. But if you really think about it, the early church had everything in common.

This sort of thing would never happen for some religions, i.e. The Mormons, The Amish, The Quakers...please anyone who are of these religions, don`t take offence. Rather be glad that you have that kind of support.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post.
