There's been a lot of concern lately about giving to pan-handlers and enabling their addictions. I'm thinking, hey, the guy lives in a hovel under a bridge - let him get drunk. I'd want to stay drunk too. But still, it's that whole enabling thing, isn't it?

You know, it's too bad we don't have some clear teaching from the bible on this subject, something that spells out exactly how we should feel about giving to a homeless person who smells boozy. Something, like, oh, I don't know... Proverbs 31: 6 - 7, perhaps?

Make of that what you will.

Oh, and verses 8 and 9 are worth reading also. Don't see too many folks agonizing over those.  And yes, I am a little sarcastic lately, thank you very much.

We now resume our regular programming.
