To Give or Not to Give

Beth Ann Chiles/ Charity, Thoughts, Writing/ 15 Comments/ 3005

That is the question. To give or not to give. Recently as I was tooling around town I happened upon a gentleman at a stoplight by a pretty busy area where there are plenty of stores. He had a cardboard sign. The usual plea for Continue reading →
