Talk about the perils of a Christian upbringing!

As I walked down the busy sidewalk, knowing I was late for church, My eye fell upon one of those unfortunate, homeless vagabonds that are found in virtually every city these days.

Some people turned to stare. Others turned away, as if the very sight of such a person would somehow contaminate them.

Recalling my minister, Pastor John, who had always admonished me to "care for the sick, feed the hungry, and clothe the naked," I was moved by a powerful urge to reach out to this person.

Wearing what can only be described as rags, carrying every worldly possession in two plastic bags, my heart was touched by this person's condition.

Yes, where some people only saw rags, I saw a true, hidden beauty. A small voice somewhere in my head called to me, "Reach out, and touch this person!"

So I did.

I won't be at church this week.

Once again the church and its teachings get you into trouble. People are sensitive about asking for help. The church says help and you do... and look at what happens...rofl rofl rofl rofl rofl rofl rofl rofl rofl rofl rofl rofl rofl rofl rofl

Glad you got there first, because I would have had this irresitable impulse to stick something in her crack. (wait...that didn't come out right?) She should be locked up..I mean really...what jury will convict you for doing what you did? Unless they are blind.
