Two ladies showed up, walked in (door was always unlocked after she or reverend arrived during the week), and asked for some assistance paying bills and buying food. My wife told them that there was no petty cash and she couldn't write a check without the rev or an elder's approval. They then started asking for any money she had in her purse or a personal check from her. She didn't have cash and said she wouldn't write a check. They then asked her for a ride back downtown as they had hitched out to our church. My wife, bless her heart - took them back into Longview where they were let out in front of the Walmart. When she told me what had transpired (and after I had calmed down considerably over her letting these two in a car with her), we resolved that she was going to start carrying while on the job in the church AND the door was absolutely going to stay locked from then on unless other folks were there. BIG eye opening experience that one. I didn't know whether to be angry at my wife for being so naive or just grateful God was watching on that day.AJ80 wrote:...a very argumentative person showed up wanting money...
