I can understand the desire to help out, but you're right that it could easily do more harm than good. <br /><br />A good, used car would likely have been a much better option. Also, the IRS may consider that all income. That would be evil, but they are evil.mushroomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07651027035577798096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133335371844144872.post-51913518575196191472015-02-13T12:57:08.099-06:002015-02-13T12:57:08.099-06:00Re. sudden wealth, for that reason I have been cri...Re. sudden wealth, for that reason I have been cringing every time I see an update about the man who, for years (a decade or more?) has been walking twenty+ miles (round trip) to work, ever since his last car broke down. He earns about ten bucks an hour. Some young and generous-minded fellow interviewed him, and suddenly he has been given a brand new car, plus some $300k in donations from more generous-minded folk. Now he has to move, because he's afraid for his safety. And not even considered is the effect this sudden change will have on his body and on his life. It might actually have been kinder and better for his health to just give him a bike. If we look in upon him a year from now, will his lot be better, or worse? And if it's worse, where will be those helpful souls who couldn't bear the thought that he had to walk so much? Where the idealistic young man who started the crusade to improve his lot in life?<br /><br />Being poor in America and having to walk is not the worst thing that can happen to someone.<br /><br />Re. the Canaanites, this is timely - I have to study those very chapters this week. Thanks for the additional perspective!juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.com
