Chuck, bless your heart. The Bible does not put you in harms way. It does not encourage criminal activity. God would not want you to put yourself in any negative situation. Your belief protects you always. Pray when you’re confused.
Thanks for giving a shelter for her .She showed her appreciation with a round of lead!
You can help everyone.
There’s a reason she’s homeless.
She needs to be off the streets.
Yeah, do unto others or whatever that silliness is.
Poor fella, I hope he makes a good recovery and isn’t dissuaded from being a kind person.
No good deed goes unpunished.
Its great to help others but no days you have to be xtra careful. Invite someone to stay..then you end up having to evict them and anyone that they invited to stay. You lose control of your own property and its at YOUR expense to legally get rid of them.
Then you have issues with people’s mental instability from drugs or alcohol.
Sad that you have to protect yourself and property or possibly lose your life.
Yeah, thank you Susie. I don’t want to discourage anyone from helping anyone else.It is what the Bible encourages us to do.
In the old days, you would help someone, and they would thank you.
Now, they shoot you.
The article never said she was a stranger.
Why would anyone allow a stranger to stay on their property anywhere? Stupid thing to do. Hope the man is OK, learns something from this and they catch her!
