Panhandling for the Coveted ♥





I know GOD supplies all of my needs.
I do.
I really, really do.
But where does PAN-HANDLING come into play?

I know. I am quite pathetic to even think such a thought.
But...(stay with me here)... BUT...

[I once met a guy who panhandled FOR A LIVING.]  <--Excuse insert
He had a shifty right eye and used it to his advantage to make money
on the corner. Add to that an outfit that the more privilidged
Orange County-ans would consider the look of poverty and voila!
You have a phony bum.
In the middle of the walkway, or in front of your local
grocery store.
Anyways, due to the crazy person I am without Christ (and mainly an ex-boyfriend)
I came into the paths of this man and he told me that this was his way of living.
He made about as much as I make in a week in a day.
IT opened my eyes. It changed me. I was so confused. I was a bit angry. A tad jealous
and just downright intrigued.reliving the conversation... Wondering, if the desire
to panhandle for a... CAMERA would be the right thing to do...
I would be honest about it.
I would write "A starving student, with a roof over her head and gas-guzzling, grand marquis seeks your extra change in order to obtain the camera she cannot ever possibly afford working part-time in a financial institution."

An honest panhandler is something to be revered ladies. I dare say, they aren't all quite as impoverished as you think.
Yes. I just used one guy who pretended to be a bum as an excuse to pose such a question about panhandling.

When Jesus walked the earth he saw those that begged and would give them REAL WEALTH, eternal life! He would reach out His hand, He would command the lame to walk and He would certainly not pity them. He blesses all who have faith.


I guess. I guess. Well, perhaps the panhandling thing isn't what the Lord wants me to do. But I just wanted to be honest about the thoughts that creep into my head. This is the woman you are following. She is in need of prayer. At all times.

thank you. I...




and I apologize for the offensive thoughts.
I have quite a long way to go.
