    OK ? So What... your friends dad is a kind man.

    Basically, the spirit of giving does not care what the end results are. In other words, what the reciever does with the money shouldn't make a difference to the person giving.

    You give because it is a charitable act.

    Example:

    There was this saint (a monk) who usually goes to town to run errands for the monestary. While in town, he saw a poor person lying there cold, so the saint gave that person his coat. The following week, the monk went back to the town to run more errands, he saw a sinner woman wearing his coat. He went back to his cell and started praying to God for guidance. How did his coat end up with that woman?

    After much prayers, God appeared to him in a dream and told him that he gave the coat to God. God accepted it. What God does with his gift (the coat, the money, whatever it may be) is up to God.

    Same with everything, you give your gifts, charitable donations, etc... to God. He accepts them and routes them as he deems fit. It is mentioned in the Bible (sorry no reference) " out of Your hands we give You"

    So, don't worry about what the homeless guy does with the money. But at the same time, we need to be watchfull and try to make sure the money goes to the needy (The true bretheren of the Lord)

    Nicotine is an appettite suppressant. So that $5.00 worth of nicotine satisfied what probably would have required $15.00 worth of food. Often times, when I have been in the financial ditch, I would have like $4.00 or $5.00. I would ask myself, "What should I spend this money on? A cheap meal from McDonald's which will only satisfy me for about two hours? Or a pack of cigarettes, which due to its appettite suppressing qualities, will prevent me from having to spend $15.00 or $20.00 on food I would have spent if I didn't have nictone?" The answer was obvious. I would buy the cigarettes. So yes, it still was an act of charity.

    Think of it as how many time have u been given something and u did not use it for the right way. How many times has God given u and u did not use it for his purpose?

    it makes u think that we ourselves do not use the tools given to us properly
