Bible Handout!

 It dawned on me recently the weather was nice enough for a Handout. (I'm not "supposed to get overheated" it is "bad").

Today I went out to De Soto and Antoine. It is a pretty notorious area I will put up a link. While I was working, in fact, a fire truck and ambulance were dispatched to the apartments behind the Friendly Mart. I don't know the ending on that.

I loaded up with 25 each English and Spanish. I decided to bring a mix of Spanish and the KJV English. You have not seen excitement for a Bible like the looks I get when they see a King James in my hand, in the ghetto. So that's what I do.

I'm not going to get into doctrinal issues the only right Bible is the one you are reading!

I had my cart. I got out to the bus stop. The bus pulled up and the first words out of the driver 'I want one". So that was #1 and 2 (he wanted a Spanish also).

I gave a guy on the bus a Bible as well he kept talking about "words have power" and got super excited when I put the Bible in his hands. I felt a little sorry leaving him for the driver to deal with, after that!

I had a lot of young 20's by themselves in a car each took two. I had a lady from a recovery house wanted (and got) 8. I had a very indignant older Latina who insisted she wanted an English Bible. I had a lot of carloads of Latinos got a Bible each for the whole family.

All the while, I was plagued with a bee! It was a honey bee. If you knew me as a kid I am terrified of bees, wasps, hornets. I would scream and run at best. But I am also very stubborn I think I can thank my Dad for that. So I kept working.

The bee and I had an *understanding* until she sat on my shoulder when I raised my arm up to wave at cars, trapping the bee between my shoulder and ear! BZZZ! BZZZ! She yelled. I screamed and dropped my arm. Some guy laughed at me.

Later on, across the street, at the Northbound bus stop, I saw a trash can full of half drunk cans of beer, energy drinks, and cans of soda. The trash can was swarming with bees.

One older, very classy lady pulled up in her car and rolled down the window, waved me over "You don't have what I want" she said confidently..

"What's that?"

"A King James...oooh look at that! Two please!"

I laughed and said "I know my people, I'm going to take care of you!" (Sponsors, please send more KJV anythings!)

I got over to the other bus stop by the "action". I don't know what the young men are doing. I make it a point not to notice them and they don't notice me. The air was thick with the smell of weed and the floor of the bus stop was sticky.

There was a lady there on a walker, when the bus came the driver had 3 other people in walkers, plus her, no way I would fit. "But while I have you in my sights..." I said and gave him a small New Testament. He laughed, closed the door, and drove off.

While I was waiting a lady drove by, saw the sign on my cart, got off THERE and asked me for a Bible which of course I gave her.

My last driver did not want a Bible but did take a cold bottle of water. "What you've done to the least of these you do unto Me". On our way back up Antoine traffic stopped for someone's escaped peahen (she did not have the big tail so I'm assuming a girl peacock). That took a few minutes and then I'm home!

Once I got on the last bus a Latina lady waved me over and asked "what are you" I said "Presbyterian" which seemed to please her and then I offered her choice of 2 Spanish Bibles. She took the blue, easier to read, version and got so dug into it she almost missed her stop!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE pray for the recipients!
