Maybe, because I am fro NY I'm alittle more doubtful of people motives, but Ive always said to be out a few dollars and maybe actually have helped someone in need (even if only one out of 10) is well worth it. I have to admit though there are some stories that I've heard from different people in different areas. I actually saw a show once about a school that teaches how to play on people (because all are basically good). The part about your story that throws me off, is that after her sincere apreciation for what you did she adked for more. That I have a problem with. I never gave as much at one time as you did, ad have to admit probably never will, a few dollars or a meal is about the most I've given, but I do feel one sure way to give back and help the needy is to give of yourself. Our time is so much more valuable and precious, and it is a guarantee that what we are giveing is being utilized how and where it's suppose to be. No matter what the real story is with this woman, God will bless you. Becareful though, I don't think He admires fools. Remember what you did may have made a needy person thankful and appreciative, but it also could have encouraged a con artist. Her story really is a little too coincidental, the one night she owed money she was fortunate to find a kind person, her boyfriend just recently left and she just ran out of money and then she asks for more - her credibility is definitely questionable. Most people want to be kind and help someone in need, it doesn't have to be money. I don't know if Texas has the same programs as NY, but there are social services that help, there is away. Some people choose not to use these services, some don't try, and some take advantage. Some just lie.<BR/>Once, shame on her, twice - shame on you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21803094.post-1140831105944332952006-02-24T19:31:00.000-06:002006-02-24T19:31:00.000-06:00Things happen for a reason, maybe she was the real...Things happen for a reason, maybe she was the real thing or maybe she was full of it. If you keep thinking about it you might second guess yourself in the future. If she was conning you, what comes around goes around and she will get hers in the end. She will answer to God, but if not then every night there is one more prayer out there for the nice couple who help her eat one more night. Angels are diguised in many ways, some like her and some like you and Angie.<BR/> I also have to agree with Jill...you are freakin me out with all this God talk!!!

I go back and forth depending on 1) my financial status at that very instant; 2) my mood; 3) can't think of a third but I'm sure there is one.....<BR/><BR/>BOTTOM LINE, my personal philosophy is if you meant well and gave freely, that money will eventually find it's way to someone or some cause where it's needed. God will know what to do with it.<BR/><BR/>PS - you are FREAKING ME OUT some with all of this church stuff!!!<BR/><BR/>yr cuz, JillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21803094.post-1139716248753469492006-02-11T21:50:00.000-06:002006-02-11T21:50:00.000-06:00Thanks, Bob.
