    BUT DONT YOU FORGET THIS SCRIPTURE


    Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.
    Hebrews 13:2
    dats rite. and me being from N.O. by nature i have dope hospitality. we still gotta use discretion, plus everbody gotta work. unless of course it's a valid excuse not to

    Mostly if they entertain me. Sometimes I'm more generous when i notice a persons situation is genuine and it depends on how i feel that day. I lose more money buying stupid ? that don't matter. Most of those people are really crazy and there's not much that you can do for them. One of my boys went crazy after smoking angel dust laced in a blunt and he's on some homeless ? now. It's bugged cuz he recognize you from the past but then he goes back to scratching his nuts and then try and to give you a pound. smh \nh.

    I usually buy them some food, being that most of the times I ever get hit up or see them it's in front of a place that sells food.

    Although, a couple months ago I saw this homeless man posted up at the intersection near the Chipotle I was going to, he didn't ask me for anything or even see me for that matter. Anyway I order an extra burrito, and handed the bag to him.

    Do you know this man looked at me and said "Im a vegetarian" and walks off. Now that's dedication.

    But at the end of the day I look at it like I did the very little I could do to help, and what ever they do with that is their business. It's not like I haven't made bad decisions with unexpected opportunities too. So that cant be an excuse for me not to give to those who are in a worse situation than myself. That could just as easily be me in need.
    May it never be.

    No, to receive money from me, you have to do a service.
