One of the most covetted things (In my opinion) are Resources (opportunities), Knowledge, Information, and supportive people. WHEN!!! (not if, because they do and will) problems, challenges, needs come up these things are what you begin searching for, praying for, and wanting more than anything. What if you could click on one website, or one blog and get everything you wanted and a whole lot more. If you had a place to go to ask questions, request a hand with something, request a referral of a reputiable and trusted provider of services, find places to help others. Well, Welcome to Bright Minds, Helping Hands, and Holy Hearts.
The strength and benefit this group has to offer are the amazing, talented and knowledgible members (YOU!!!). And the spirit of the group is share what you can, what you know, interesting topics, and articles, your talents, your "helping hands" in projects that come up, your encouragement and support, your testimony, your faith. In return everyone else will be doing the same thing. It is amazing and simple priceless to receive these things in a moment of need. Sometimes you are able to find these things on your own, but some people need or would like a little companionship, and help during these times, so that is what we want to start providing.
Click on the comment button below this post, and provide any information you have found useful, websites, community agencies or groups, discount stores, sources of good, reputiable, and helpful information on any and all topics. Special skills you have, your talent, ect. The comments will be moderated and I will create postings in catergories.
If you are looking for information or a specific resource (ie, food at good prices, co-op's ect) then post those requests too.
Looking forward to hearing from you,

Helping the Poor- Biblical Perspective-Theological Discussion
The great debate should we help? How much should we help? Which ones should we help? For how long should we help?
Some think that if people do not work they should not receive. But I say, How do you know they did not work? maybe it is just not enough, and isn't that judging? Sometimes bad and costly things happen that we are just not financially prepared for. Today I need help, tomorrow I can help someone else out, isn't that how the "Community" works. It use to work that way, but corruption, deceit and selfishness crept in like the "theif in the night" as the Bible warns and destroyed trust and love for each other and now everyone thinks everyone else is cheating and just wanting something for nothing. We need to get back to the jolly, helpful, sharing community.
Christ said, that "whatever you do not do for those with the least, you did not do for me". And if we love how can we let people need the basics and have extra and not give???? That is just me.
I was searching the internet for a good answer and found this article

"A Theological Discusssion About Helping The Poor", by Robert Carillo
It is very good, lots of scripture references and good commentary explanations.
What do you think? Do you know of food ministries around town? Would you want to be involved in helping with food related needs? Do you have any practical suggestions for those needing help with obtaining, preparing, storing, utilizing food they are not used to eating, (ie: deer meat or odd cuts of meat like neck bones, ect).?
