I think of you every time we get these types of people in our church - addictions and trouble. It breaks your heart, but they have to be willing to help themselves.
We can show them love and love covers a multitude of sin. I've notice that they don't, initially, trust "love" as it hasn't proven to be true in their pasts. It's so sad!

Yep that is exactly how it is! (and I am so honored you think of me!)
I have seen what you described many times. They first come in very down trodden. But after a while they change! They start to love God and love church, it is awesome to see.
