A quick post for no other reason than to share a nice true story.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Yesterday, I grabbed a burger and fries with a young guy from church and chatted through some stuff he’s got on his mind.<\/li>\n
  2. This morning, walking to the college bus with my daughter, the young guy finds $120 in crisp new notes in the street.<\/li>\n
  3. They call me on my cellphone for advice and I say keep it safe and hand it in to the police station as soon as possible.<\/li>\n
  4. The young guy passes the money to my daughter as she’ll be able to get there sooner.<\/li>\n
  5. After school, she goes to the police and they ask her to check with the three local banks before they take the money into safekeeping.<\/li>\n
  6. The banks all say no-one has reported the loss to them so she signs it over to the police. \u00a0They say that if it isn’t claimed in 90 days, the $120 bucks will go to the young guy.<\/li>\n
  7. Meanwhile, the young guy’s mum is waiting for her lodger to return from work and pay the rent.<\/li>\n
  8. The sad lodger returns home to report that although he drew the rent money out of ATM this morning but has somehow lost it during the day.<\/li>\n
  9. The young guy overhears and gets to deliver the ‘happy ever after’ punchline to the story.<\/li>\n
  10. They call us to say they’re heading to the police station first thing in the morning.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n
    As Hannibal Smith used to say, ‘I love it when a plan comes together.’<\/div>\n
