Phil (my cousin's boyfriend) and I were walking to dinner when we were approached by a couple that needed some help with cash to get on a bus. Pretty typical story, but we gave helped them out anyway for two reasons. 1) They actually seemed really legit. Everything about their stories matched up with each other and made sense. And they didn't look homeless or drunk or anything. 2) More importantly, it gave me a chance to have some conversation with them. It wasn't much but I got to bless their unborn baby (due in a few months) and talk a bit about what I do for a career with them. Plus, we're called to generosity, right? I dunno... it's a tricky thing, this whole what-is-generosity-and-what-is-enabling question. But I'm starting to think I wanna err on the side of generosity.
