Recently, my sister experienced homelessness. She had reached a really low point in her life and needed help. Thankfully, she was able to get into rehab, but it wasn’t simple. One of the biggest hurdles wasn’t just finding stability in housing or recovery, it was navigating financial survival without a permanent address.
Simple things like getting food stamps or health insurance became nearly impossible because the applications required proof of residency. Rehab helped her apply for SNAP (food stamps) and eventually get very low-rate insurance through Georgia Access, but it took extra steps and advocates to guide her through. Watching her walk through that process opened my eyes to how difficult it is for families, individuals, and even veterans who don’t have a permanent place to live.
If you’ve ever wondered how to make money without a permanent address, or why it’s so hard to qualify for assistance in these situations, this post will walk through some options, challenges, and real-life realities.

Sometimes the most powerful sports movies aren’t just about the game, they’re about the people who play it and the personal battles they face off the course. The Short Game, hitting theaters August 29th, 2025, is one of those films that will stick with you long after the credits roll.
As a mom, I’m always drawn to stories that highlight the complexity of family life, especially when it comes to balancing personal goals with the needs of loved ones. This movie hits that note beautifully while still delivering the excitement of competitive sports.
It also hit close to home for me in a very unexpected way.
My son recently started playing golf with his dad, and I’ve loved knowing they are bonding over the game. Golf isn’t the fastest sport, but there’s something special about the quiet moments they share between holes, the way my son lights up when he tells me he made a good shot, and the patience it teaches both of them. Seeing The Short Game reminded me how sports can become more than just competition, they can be a bridge between family members, a safe space to learn, grow, and encourage one another.

This study Bible takes Maclaren’s powerful insights and makes them accessible for today’s readers, guiding you through God’s Word with clarity, depth, and a fresh sense of Christ’s presence on every page.

Between juggling work, household responsibilities and a child’s everyday needs, parents often find it
difficult to access the traditional healthcare system.
However, telehealth has transformed the landscape. Parents no longer need to worry about disrupting
their entire itinerary to seek help from a medical professional.
Read on as we assess how telehealth services help parents access healthcare for their children.
Purity culture taught us a lot of things, how to dress, how to act, how to remain “pure.” But one thing it never taught? How to hold men accountable.
Instead, we were taught to cover up, not just our bodies, but their behavior.
And when you’re married to the so-called “nice guy,” it becomes even more confusing. Because no one believes you when you start to call out the uncomfortable things you’ve seen. They just say, “Really? Him?”
But I was there. I saw it all. And this is what purity culture never prepared me for.
