    Lost my wallet today at a grocery store full of church dressed people. Locked the cards,then saw two usage attempts on two different cards. Of course, maybe it wasn’t one of the people who had just came from church…

      It could easily be someone who goes to church. My church has a community meal and a food pantry, and a lot of people who are welcome and who come for church services are homeless or food-insecure or addicts. And honestly anything that isn’t locked up walks away way too often. Jesus called for the church to serve the hurting and broken and needy so it shouldn’t be a surprise. You know what though? A lot of those people are willing to volunteer time and even give a little when they can.

      But the rich assholes that don’t tip and treat their servers like shit, they usually don’t help the church at all in any way. Maybe they throw in $20 a couple times a year to appease their conscience. Continue berating them by all means.
