Kim and staff helped with house problem

Im writing so you could let your readers know what a wonderful job Congressman Andy Kim is doing, from my firsthand experience.

My husband and I did a reverse mortgage. He passed away in January 2013. In 2018, I developed medical issues and had to go to a continuing care facility. I came here on Dec. 1, 2018. The house was emptied out and all bills were paid up to Jan. 31, 2019.

My problem was with the bank. They locked up my house on Feb. 7, 2019, which meant the house was no longer mine. Yet they expected me to continue paying taxes, insurance and water bills. I needed paperwork saying the house was no longer mine, so I could give it to Medicaid.

Well, this is where Congressman Kim and his staff stepped in and helped me. It was very difficult for me to do things on my own. Thanks to Jerome Townsend, from Kims office, I was finally able to get some closure and can rest. They were in constant contact with me and did a great job and helped me to the very end.

We need more spiritual understanding

Spiritual truth is the only solution for eliminating violence and the nuclear threat within human society. Understood by Gandhi of India and Jesus of Nazareth, the idea of fighting for freedom but refusing to kill for freedom because the use of the sword means you will die by the sword comes from the following spiritual understanding:

The Golden Rule:

Treat every human being as you would want to be treated.

The Law of Love:

Because the movement of God within all of his creation pushes and pulls commands the human mind to build to love the life-giving movement the essence of life within the body and mind of every human being to the creator's required perfection.

The Law of Equal Return:

Because what good and what harm you measure to every human being will be measured back to you by the creator over and within all of your lifetimes in the human condition.

This spiritual understanding requires discussion and consensus in the public square. The urgency for doing this cannot be overestimated.
