I like this story.
The guy on duck dynasty told a story about some guys that kept robbing him. He caught them but gave them what they wanted, and they ended up never stealing from him again. I think he originally wanted to shoot them, but he.. Let me see if I can find the original story. I think I'm ruining it and telling it wrong.
Well, you told it mostly right. And that is a totally cool video.
In my family, we feed homeless people. Mostly anyone on the street who asks for money can get a free meal from us. We're Catholic but we work with Protestant charity organizations, which have temporary apartments for families and beds for single people.
I have an emergency credit card, which I have only used once.
I was with friends. I never go anywhere alone. I am always with other people.
A man asked for money, so I did what my Dad would have done, I bought his family dinner.
But ... I forgot to tell my Dad that I had done it.
One day I heard, "Ghid, get down here."
As I trundled to his study, I knew that I had done something unforgivable, but I did not know what.
"What is this twenty dollar charge on your EMERGENCY card?"
"Well Daddy, I met this homeless family, and I did what you would have done ..."
"What, .... you were by yourself ?"
He was so angry that I melted into a ball of jelly. "But Daddy, you know I ever go anywhere by myself."
Then he was sorry that he had yelled. Now that I think about it, he didn't yell, I just heard yelling.
So, he changed the rules. No helping homeless people unless I am with an adult.
Dad does a lot to help people who need help, but God help the burglar, who breaks into our house. But I'm sure Dad would not shoot at an unarmed burglar as he or she ran away.
