I used to know a fairly affluent couple who liked to visit New York from time to time to gawk at the homeless. They would go for a hansom cab ride, have dinner at a nice restaurant, and then do a bit of slumming. Somehow I could never quite get my mind around poor people as a form of entertainment.
And what about this assumption that poverty is so widespread in naughty capitalist America that you can hardly help but find a soup kitchen on every street corner?
Wishful thinking on the part of Democrats.
Ironically, the top US cities with the highest homeless rates are all controlled by democrats. https://www.ranker.com/list/top-10-u-s-cities-with-a-high-homelessness-rate/greg
Gawking at homeless is poor taste. I would hate to be them on judgement day. They will have to give an account for that.
God will take into consideration the fact that they are idiots.
Love it! 🙂 🙂
Actually, I’ve often hoped that God will make the same allowance for me. Sometimes my only possible prayer seems to be, “Lord, I am a jerk.”
Wait’ll you read what I just did.
One of my fellow tenants is building a shed for his stable of bikes. This entails a bit of noise. I objected to that today, and he retorted with a crack about my “polluting the air” with my cigars–and I erupted like Mount St. Helen’s. I haven’t snapped like that in years. Not the most Christian thing I’ve ever done, and not the best thing for my blood pressure. I guess I had a lot of stress built up, and that crack about the cigar just sent me instantaneously into hyperspace.
By and by we apologized to each other, shook hands, and made up.
I think I need another hymn.
What? Our fearless Blogger is not perfect? What a shock 🙂 . Our pastor had a great sermon on the Samaritan leper who returned to worship Jesus. Pastor went into how our sin nature is like leprosy but much worse.
We have several here, Thank you God.:)
Statistically, homelessness has gone down 16% since Trump has been President. It is the sanctuary cities that have a substantial rise in homelessness..
Them statistics don’t fly in California.
