We have all seen one, the large lighthouse on the coasts which have been a part of history since the third century BC when Egypt’s Pharos of Alexandria built the first one made from a fire on a platform to signal the port entrance. No matter the beauty in architecture and despite advances in technology, lighthouses are still considered aids to navigation even by the U.S. Coast Guard.
My name is Tuna Sheppard and I am a level 3 resident at the House of Mercy. I’m 55 years old and I spent the majority of my life, 39 years, working at a carnival. I traveled with them to many cities, states, and even Mexico and Canada. I was let go from my job due to an injury I had acquired that wasn’t work related and because of it, I couldn’t take care of myself and work my job like I was supposed to.
My name is Lori Taylor and I’m 33 years young. By 18 I was a pothead, alcoholic and ‘X’ addict. By 28 I traded all that for methamphetamines. I spent most of my life conforming to the world, living in wickedness, and I was very indecisive in my faith.
