Foreclosure....

"There were many personal items left in the home.  On the floor, in one of the back bedrooms, was an Alcoholics Anonymous book. Next to that was a Bible with the handwritten words, "Faith without works is dead."  There was also a copy of what looked like each of their left hands displaying their wedding bands....  

Real lives, real people...

Although the fact was never far from my mind, this was a harsh reminder that we are dealing with people.  Not just a house or a mortgage.... with real people... "             (Amen!)
