The Forgotten

I have been spending the last few hours listening to statistics about people in our country who are being forgotten and mistreated. Some times at the behest of the local governments actually put in place to help and protect it's citizens.  I'm talking about those people in our country who are living on the streets. [...]

God pushes.  We've all experienced them.   Some might liken a God push to a "gut" feeling or "intuition", however, a Christian knows there is something more to it, something deeper.  More than a desire, more than an idea, more than seeing a need and wanting to respond.
