I read a news story today about a homeless man in Michigan who found $21,000 in savings bonds. The man was searching for bottles to return and came across the bonds in a dumpster; he promptly turned the bonds in to an authority at his shelter, and the authority tracked down the original owner. The owner gave the man a $100 reward, but people from around the nation (and especially around Detroit, where the homeless man lives) have chipped in to give almost $4,000 to the good samaritan. Even people who are homeless have morals (think about the implications of giving away $21,000 when you personally own $0). What a concept. You can read the whole story here, but I just told you the whole thing.
Blogger is currently being persnickety, but, later, I'll try and post some (unrelated) pictures. Today will probably be my last opportunity for a while, as Mom and Dad's internet connection is not, shall we say, supportive of my picture-posting efforts; though, as soon as we re-enter U.S. soil, I will be able to post via cell phone again...
That is awesome about that homeless guy. Hopefully he loves God and will be rewarded later too!
ReplyDeleteWhy doesn't anybody throw out gold anymore? I have been looking and looking and looking...maybe a dumpster.
