AlanHo Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 As I walked, knowing I was late for an important meeting, my eye fell upon one of those vagabonds that are found in every city these days.Wearing what can only be described as rags, carrying every worldly possession in two plastic bags, my heart was touched by this person’s condition.Some people turned to stare. Others quickly looked away as if the sight would somehow contaminate them.Recalling some long ago Sunday school admonition to "care for the sick, feed the hungry and clothe the naked," I was moved by some powerful inner urge to reach out to this unfortunate person. Yes, where some people saw only rags, I saw a hidden beauty. A small voice inside my head called out, "Reach out, reach out!" ......................So I did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andsome Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Forgetting rear ends for the time being. I can confirm that many parts of Scotland really are gorgeous. When we were last there a couple of years ago, the run by road from Fort William to Skye was breathtaking.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchful Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 I can confirm that as we were on that road about 10 years ago. Visited the Isle of Skye and stayed in Mallaig. Beautiful scenery and lochs and we went to Edinburgh last year.Also been to Dumfries & Galloway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
