at this gas station...it was the day there was a tiny earthquake...I'm getting gas and a gal at the pump next tome approaches and says she "left her purse at hermom's...because she was distracted by the earthquake") (a tiny one, we barely felt it in this area...I didn't believe her, but being the Christian scmuck that I am and that she obviouslt took me for..she was sure she could get something from me...and that's the moral dilemma that I deal with daily..to help these people who r constantly asking for something..all with a story ..or NOT..when I don't..like last week after the national day of prayer service at bel air presbyterian..a guy asked me for 50 cents at 7-11..& I didn't have any cash but could have bought him something with my card or gotten cash back..or rummaged up 50 cents from my car..I feel GUILTY later..periodically the message about Jesus saying "When I was hungry did u feed me...?" at the pearly gates pops up in my mind and at church..and so I HELP people? maybe too much, but then u never know..maybe still not enough..but this girl simply took advantage of me..she didn't even email a "thanks' ..(I gave her my email so she could paypal me or at least say thanks) ..the other thing she did was she kept pumping on my card...more than I agreed to give her..and then she said "oops" ..umm hmm.. oops..and I'm the pope..
