If we can only Imagine

 In the end ~It is our legacy that carries on

 The Paul McManus Jr. Memorial Inspiration Room was dedicated at the VOA shelter for Homeless Families on  March 6, 2007.  

When Paul was on a business trip in San Diego, California in 2004, a homeless man approached him for money. Paul asked him if he was hungry.

The man said, " I am" Paul asked him where a good place to eat would be and invited him to join him for dinner. The man asked "You want me to have dinner with you?" Paul said, "Yes, I do" ~They proceeded to a nearby restaurant and enjoyed a fine dinner and conversation together. When they got up to leave, the man said " I will never forget you, thank you for your kindness, I wish I could repay you someday."

Paul said,  " I am alone here and it was nice to have company for dinner, Thank You.  Here is $10.00 for later." I never forgot that touching story.

In February 2007, there was a story on the news, that the Homeless shelter that was about to open in Rochester, NY had one room and a library left to be dedicated.

Thus, the Paul Jr. Inspirational Memorial Room was born. This room and library has provided much comfort to those who are temporarily homeless. There are many books that were donated by several families for the library. Thank you and God Bless those who have shared this vision with me.

"Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope. We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him."
