Shlomo Lkhoolkhoon,

As a number of you know I have been homeless for the last few years. Well over the last few weeks I have had a steady job, but my boss does not pay me on time. If he would pay me what I was owed each pay period, I could afford an apartment as well as have enough left over to eat. Because he does not pay me on time (over days I will get me full pay) it has lead me to despair. Right now he owes me 3/4s of my pay from the last pay period, as well as 75% of this pay period.

I as for my pay, but I am also afraid to press him because I do not wish to lose my job. I have a few times lost sight of God and feel at times he has turned his back on me. I know this is not true, but it is hard to see what he has planned for me when I have to sleep in abandoned buildings and vehicles.

For a number of reasons I can not stay in a shelter (for health reasons). Also because I am working I can not use most other programs they do have for the poor.

My boss does not do this as a malicious act, but he does not understand what his actions are doing to me.

I ask the board to please pray for me, and pray for my boss to have the log removed from his eye.

Fush BaShlomo Lkhoolkhoon,
Yuhannon

Nobody wants pity but everyone needs prayers. You have mine. I'll place a candle for you today before the icon of the Mother of God, asking her intercession on your behalf.

Prayers for you, my brother Shawn, that your earthly needs be met and that your spiritual strength be fortified and kept constant
