Some People will always be the Bum

Some People will always be the Bum

We have one person that is in a wheelchair and has since his young years been a bum a real bum it’s sad to say. He has one leg now of which he lost it due to his own negligence.

He sits all day in front of the store trying to “sell” his bunny and Jesus pictures that are at the art lever of a 3 year old.

What can you do to get people of this statue to be productive level where they are beneficial to themselves as well to society as a whole?

The Bible talks about this and it suggest that you take a rod and beat their back with it.

This person draws a large disability check for the last few years and has a history of drug usage.

It’s sad that people equate this person top others who really need help. The money he makes off his pictures is as much and sometimes more than his welfare check.

He is able to work, but refuses to he also has a local trade college degree and refuses to use it to better himself.

I have a are a friend that has no legs and who is trying to get on the college football team here . So forgive me when I don’t feel sorry for this bum selling poor quality pictures to unsuspecting people that don’t know what he can do for if he wanted to he could work. When my friend refuses to be a bum and working hard to have a great future even with his true disability.

Need I say more?

Kevin is right again

Kevin is right again this is my response to his blog read his at http://thehomelessguy.wordpress.com/2007/04/21/the-unpleasantness-of-the-unpleasantness/#comments

The bitterness of homeless is not seen as you said till one is in the thick of it just like finding out that your lifemate is after you say “I do”.

People don’t understand how it is to have to try to spent the whole day looking for work, food, a place to safely use the phone or toilet. There out to be a 6 month experience for others to be homeless when they get 25 then maybe they would not just sneer away from others as they ask for help.

The sneer awayers are not just white but comes in all colors and economic brackets, and of all different religions not just “Christians”.

When you give, give with an open heart and hand. Give more than you want and give with the Love of G-d. Look for opportunity to help those who have real need and bless them more than they can even understand. Join with others to help a person and help each one become stable and productive again for the betterment of all of us.

Kevin is right

in my response to Kevin's blog go read it http://thehomelessguy.wordpress.com/2007/04/20/because-the-best-is-not-good/

Here in our “fair” city we had two missions close down both due to the “owners” misdoings the last remaining one ought to be shut down and some of us are trying to somehow open one or more that will really help and not just take them for their money.

If people even got to stay at one and then really got to see how bitter it all is then maybe things will change instead of money thrown to fix things.

Bottom-line as Kevin says you still got to eat and you still have to sleep it’s the lesser choice of two evils. Eat or starve or sleep in danger in the mission or sleep out in the open in more danger and harassment of the cops etc. This is waht you call “freedom of choice” Lol
