The Best Things in Life are Free

Tonight I attended a banquet where 100 people were acknowledged with crystal awards for their volunteerism. These people have put in hundreds of hours of work to help those less fortunate. They serve in the food pantry, clothes pantry, and day care rooms to help read to children and they clean parking lots and floors, minister and talk to the sick and ask for nothing in return. To see these volunteers from all walks of life, all races, ages, and disabled, was such a great experience.

What a wonderful testament to the human spirit when so much negative stuff is happening in the world, it does my heart proud to see people who are positive and striving to help others without asking for anything in return.

Are you a Prostitute?

Say your rent was due or your lights or gas was about to be turned off and to prevent eviction or utility shut off, all you have to do is ask your boyfriend to give you the money. Would you ask him? If you are having sex with him and you request money for help is that being a whore or being smart. Why wouldn't you ask him if you are giving him your most precious stuff?

Someone said that they would not ask their boyfriend for help because that is like being a prostitute but this same person can turn around and ask everybody else for help. What's wrong with this picture?
