Rev. Christy Thomas: The least of these

Rev. Christy Thomas

Homelessness is not pretty. People who live on the street or in temporary camps or jerry-rigged shelters have no access to normal hygiene facilities. Routine activities such as bathing become a giant challenge. Wearing freshly laundered clothes turns into an uncommon privilege rather than part of a weekly routine. How rarely we remind ourselves of the incredible convenience of washing machines and dryers!

Holding hands and shovels
When people of faith join together, laying aside theological differences, they spread more than just gravel — they also spread good will. Such was the case on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, when the Denton Interfaith Alliance came together to work on the trails located at Lake Forest Park’s Wiggly Field.

Local church prepares cold-weather shelter
Immaculate Conception Catholic Church opened its doors to the city’s homeless last winter when midwinter temperatures dipped and the city saw several days of snow and ice.

Rev. Christy Thomas: Barely skimming the surface
My parents, both born and bred in Indiana, uprooted their family and moved us all to Texas when my siblings and I were 10, 7 and 6. The first thing my mother did after our move was enroll us in swimming lessons. She knew that the hotter weather meant that water activities were a big part of summer vacations.
