Hey, want to hear a story? It’s a really good one. So, I’ll tell it anyway. Come along. Helping Hands It was a dark and stormy night… nah – too cliché. Let me try again. Phillip wasn’t always this way. If anyone had suggested that he’d ever find himself in such a compromising situation, he … More Guest Post by Jane Love: “Do You Not Know that You Shouldn’t Help ‘Such People’?”
