I don't think I would be hateful or braggadocious about sending him away, though. However, after reading this, I pray that I would not bow to a spirit of fear and would at least do the best I could to help someone in a similar situation.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121362351545313113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-42832851182417337412017-01-25T14:29:19.761-05:002017-01-25T14:29:19.761-05:00Wow.

He's an addict, currently homeless, just in a mess. He's staying the night (been sleeping in his car with his dog). I've fed him, will wash his clothes, feed his dog, and in the morning he's going (he says) to a rehab clinic for addiction help. Prayers would be appreciated.Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01375047719439206884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-21254897739523530442017-01-24T16:52:44.400-05:002017-01-24T16:52:44.400-05:00What a beautiful story, Mary Ann, and an example o...What a beautiful story, Mary Ann, and an example of how we should all live our lives.
