Ashamed of my conduct
John from Kentucky:
Hey Alex,
Look at all the controversy you caused. One day you will be this rich doctor.
Next time you see this bum begging a handout (which no decent man would do), give him the $20.
It will bring peace to the Forum. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Oh if only John! If only! I don't even think I'd know what to do with too much money, I've never had alot of it though I've been blessed to have very supportive parents so that I never go in need.
A strange work the Lord is doing.. where will it go? I don't know. I Just hope it ain't in the opposite direction of Him. I don't want riches and fame, I Just want to do what I know in my heart is right and good the days of my life so that in the end, when the time of my rest is upon me, I may not be entirely ashamed of my conduct. Though I'm not going to lie.. a nice house, a pool and a spa as well, and some vacation time every now and then certainly sounds really nice...
Here's to all the future bums and future 20$! May God have mercy on us all.

alex, i was running some errands earlier this afternoon and came up to a red light where a homeless man was standing. i gave him a $20 bill and told him it was from alex. he looked at me puzzled but said thank you, then with a few more words from him giving thanks to God, he went back up into the grove of trees where he was living.

Claudia, what a good heart God has given you. I think when God nudges me I will do the same thing - from Alex in God's name. :)

That was very sweet of you Claudia, thank you!
There is no need though to mention me! Give as God moves you, a cheerful giver, right? I think that's the lesson here.. no one can tell you when it is an appropriate time to give or when it is not. No one can judge you on these matters either. It is between the spirit of God and the person.
God bless and thank you everyone for a very edifying discussion.
