JESUS RETURNS!!!! (dies cold and alone in Moscow Idaho)

JESUS RETURNS!!!! (dies cold and alone in Moscow Idaho)

For I was hungry, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
Then he answered them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of my brothers, ye did it not to me.
Matthew 25, 42-46

We have RWNJ nephew there.

Our nephew is "extremely religious." Wonder if he would have taken this young man into his home in the middle of a cold, dark night?

It had been making frozen rain, and this under-dressed man was desperately cold.
I invited him into my house.
His shivering shook the place.
I fed him hot food. And coffee. Hot shower.
I gave him dry clothes to wear while I washed and dried his very wet clothes.
I talked with him.
I gave him the spare bedroom for the night.

He was an agoraphobic person who had been evicted from his home.
He was way out of sorts.

It was okay.
It cost me nothing. Probably saved a life.

Don't be scared to be human.
Being human is very satisfying.

Maybe they should have called the police but I wouldn't have let him in either.
