Notes from this podcast episode: * Portion from 'The Finishing Touch' by Charles Swindoll, called 'Who Cares'. * Tells the story of a derelict who was found on the streets and later died * The surprising name of who that drunken bum really was. I won't spoil it for you, you'll have to listen to the podcast * The story reminded Mr Swindoll of a poem about stooping down and restoring a lost soul's glimmer of hope. * Deep within many a forgotten life is a scrap of hope trying hard to return.

Because of my volunteering at the homeless shelter and the women's prison, I know how hard it is for many people to realize that life is still worth living, no matter how much we may have messed up. I hope this story encourages you to care. Have a great week and take the time to smile at others, Carol
