I'm always amazed at the homeless people who don't know what free stuff is available.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14167897.post-1120570458236649032005-07-05T08:34:00.000-05:002005-07-05T08:34:00.000-05:00The homelessperson issue is a big one.

Anyway, when it comes to a homeless person I do not know how to handle it always. Normally I just give them whatever change I have in my pocket and I move on. I have never come across a rude one before, thank God. My preacher once told us that God comes to us in many different forms. So one day He might just be that homeless person you turn away from ... so I try to be fair, but then again I am human just like the rest.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14663462034592911868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14167897.post-1120537486571139982005-07-04T23:24:00.000-05:002005-07-04T23:24:00.000-05:00That's a dilemma.One the one hand, you wanna help ...That's a dilemma.<BR/><BR/>One the one hand, you wanna help a homeless person..but you don;t want to support a possible habit or be tricked.<BR/><BR/>Like J. Hill, I, too, go by a rule. I don't give at all. I oray for the person that they get he REAL help they need.<BR/><BR/>Once, my church had a clothing drive. A homeless man came up and asked us for money. I walked up to him and told him that we weren't iving out money. We were giving out free clothes. He said, "I don't need no clothes.' I said, "..Well, how can we help you?" <BR/><BR/>He said, "I just need a coupla dollars," I said, "How else can we help you?"<BR/><BR/>He got the message and left.<BR/><BR/>I don't think giving money is the answer.A.Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13377922175077844801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14167897.post-1120493339155161912005-07-04T11:08:00.000-05:002005-07-04T11:08:00.000-05:00antifreeze?

OK, that's HILARIOUS. <BR/><BR/>i have new rule with the homeless: if you look able-bodied and non-homeless, i ain't giving you nothing.<BR/><BR/>a homeless guy rolled up on the BF (boyfriend) with a brand new pair of shoes. if u homeless, u shouldn't have brand-new anything.<BR/><BR/>i see homeless people here in o-town with sean john shirts and relatively modern stuff. <BR/><BR/>if u don't have a limp, a twitch, a disfigurement, something where i can look at u and tell it has enabled your ability to work, u gets none of my ends. if u got two hands, two feet, the majority of your teeth, u need to be filling out a job app.Not Your Average Chimichangahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12533893355433658091noreply@blogger.com
