“Love is like that, its mere presence transforming the ugliness of a broken life into a beautiful trophy of grace. Love covers the scars of sin. Love heals old wounds and eases the pain of the past. We all need to be loved and we all need to love.”

This guy is walking away from the counter after he has completed his transaction. He’s all walking with a bounce, some pep in his step and this pleasant smile on his face. He is so pleased.
I hope I can feel that euphoric when I leave this wretched place.

Flight Attendant Gets Fired For Saying She Qualifies For Food Stamps →

A Compass Airlines flight attendant, represented by the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA (AFA-CWA), was terminated on Thursday after publicly revealing she qualified for foods stamps. Despite a full-time schedule, flight attendant Kirsten Arianejad was recently featured in a local television interview announcing that she had been approved for food stamps in order compensate for her low wages.
“Poverty is not a crime and it is despicable that Compass Airlines would fire an employee for speaking the truth,” said Patricia Friend, AFA-CWA International President. “Unfortunately, there are flight attendants across the country who have to rely on federal and state assistance to make ends meet.
Instead of paying hardworking flight attendants a living wage, airline management would rather shame them and make them fear for their jobs. We call on Compass to immediately reinstate Kirsten Arianejad.”
While regional carriers now operate over 50 percent of daily commercial flying, they continue to pay poverty-level wages to flight attendants and other employees. Many flight attendants from various regional carriers find it difficult to provide for themselves and their families.
Compass flight attendants are paid at or near the minimum wage with a starting flight attendant annually making between $13,842 ($1,153.50/month) and $15,453 ($1,287.75/month). The maximum income level to qualify for food stamps in Arizona for an individual is $1,671, making most flight attendants eligible for assistance.

this man is a fool.
“ 1 The fool says in his heart,
“There is no God.”
They are corrupt, and their ways are vile;
there is no one who does good.2 God looks down from heaven
on the sons of men
to see if there are any who understand,
any who seek God.”Psalm 53:1-2
don’t be fool people. God is realer than we are.
How 40,000 people used Mrs. Whitcher's SSN for 40 years
If someone has misused your SSN, take heart — it could be worse. According to SSA historians, over the course of 40 years more than 40,000 people used secretary Hilda Schrader Whitcher’s SSN as their own.
In 1937, Whitcher’s boss, Douglas Patterson, vice president and treasurer of the wallet-manufacturing company E. H. Ferree, decided to include a demonstration Social Security card in the new line of wallets. To make the false card a better representation of a real Social Security card, he included a real SSN — his secretary’s. The display cards were smaller than actual cards and had the word “specimen” written on them, but many people took the number to be their own SSN anyway. The SSA gave Whitcher a new number and announced that the wallet sample number was not to be used as anybody’s SSN. But some people were still using the number as late as 1977!——cuhrazy
