Nashville opens its first permanent supportive housing development
Nashville’s first permanent supportive housing development for individuals experiencing homelessness opened after a ribbon cutting at the Jo Johnston Avenue facility on July 18. The Strobel House, named for the late Father Charles Strobel who died last year, has been years in the making. Mayor Freddie O’Connell took to the stage before the ribbon cutting to offer a message of gratitude for those who made the Strobel House possible. “We’ve worked now across four different mayoral administrations to ensure we got this right. And now we’re here, with new homes for people in desperate need,” he said.

The Power of Love
|
In John, “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples if you love one another.” Now that’s what many churches should preach because many have a serious problem understanding how they should love their neighbor. Many times I think churches should stop for some months and every Sunday they should preach love. How important love is as a Christian. In Proverbs 10:12 it says hatred stirs up conflict but love covers all offenses, and verse 15 says, “The wealth of the rich is his fortified city, the poverty of the poor is their destruction.” Many times when I’m on my corner that’s how I feel. Simply because that’s the way people act toward the poor.
