The song Rainy Night in Georgia implicates rain falling all over the world. The frigid temperatures here (in the Deep South) surely indicate the same sentimentality of Rainy Night in Georgia. Amazingly, so many reside in abstract towards those lacking reprieve from inclement weather. The temporary exposure to this elemental cold is with deeper implication; more relative to lack in endurance that promotes perseverance. Cars with heat, coats with linings, hot beverages, along with homes so very warm, demands that garments be removed (immediately) and forgets that entire families within the very scope of their own community persevere; they never thought they would occupy a home without utilities such as natural gas (*this lack is not always fiscal impropriety). Moreover, within that same scope are victims of homelessness, de-valued and without advocacy from the Most High’s army that lack empathy to never consider interactivity with civic, church and political leaders, to insist there be warming stations throughout every hamlet…
