I adored this story because I quite often have problems with organized charities. I help people and try to do good works, but it appears that I do a better job on my own.

Yet I find organised good-deeds brings out the "bossy" character in some people. I recall once at a community meal session, the cook, (or chef), insisted we laid the tables exactly as she wanted, and served the food precisely according to her instructions. She was/is a good soul really; but she liked being in charge and we were all her servants.<br /><br />My friend, to whom this post is dedicated, used to go out in vans late at night in the unsavoury parts of London to feed the homeless and the poor. Rather brave and courageous work.<br /><br />God bless.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-7283039044134680172021-07-22T05:48:11.022-07:002021-07-22T05:48:11.022-07:00I enjoyed this all over again! ... and have, in f...I enjoyed this all over again! ... and have, in fact, always been a tidge suspicious of organized community outreach programs.Mevely317https://www.blogger.com/profile/14786988262452989091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-56715820317045864122019-07-16T01:12:12.607-07:002019-07-16T01:12:12.607-07:00You mean pay my way into Heaven?

When I suggested I go ask the police for our box of sandwiches he lost his temper and told me to shut up and get in the car.
