"God is my provision"

This is a bit off topic, but is Central Market as impressive as the website makes it seem? I'm moving to Dallas in the fall to study at SMU, and as the food lover that I am, I'm always on the lookout for great places to get groceries. We've got an excellent farmer's market/world market here in Atlanta (that also hires a large number of immigrants) that I dread leaving, but knowing that there are great options in Dallas might make the transition a bit easier.

A propos, some people describe taking family to USA as something easy as going for a walk, demanding only some cash for the ticket, and nothing else. It is interesting how they manage to get visas for their poor relatives? One russian woman who is married to the USA citizen complained that her poor father is denied visa, he can't come to see her even as tourist (he has small income, and obviously it is presupposed that he will not want to return home), generally people with official income lower than a certain level are not allowed to enter USA as tourists, and some people are denied visas just without any explanation. Grown-ups can get employment invitations, but i wonder how pensioneres and little children get to them? Maybe relatives of employees from different countries are approached in different ways.

Quite natural behaviour for an honest man. He found it in the shop, not on the street, owner of the bag might remeber where he left it and return for it. Is the fact that the man was black and poor presupposed that he 100% should have stolen it?

Of course not. The money was not found in the shop, but in a cart in the parking lot -- that's not clear from the story, I see. But I shop at this store, so I understand from that knowledge that the job Joseph had in those days was to retrieve shopping carts left in the parking lot. Anyway, the amazing thing about this was that any man, whatever his color, who was desperate for money to bring his wife and daughter into America from a refugee camp, would be tempted to take that money. I hope that I would have had the honesty to have done what Joseph did, but to find that kind of money sitting on the street, basically, and to be in such need -- well, I don't know what I would have done.

Oh goodness ... is someone really turning this into a race question? The only mention of race is where the gentleman was from in order to show his need. When in need ... there is a different kind of temptation. He could have reasoned with himself and said that God was providing for him in this way ... many people would have thought that. Rather, he had the high moral integrity to see through need and justification and do what was right ... no matter who he was or where he was from. But the truth is ... so many people use need of any kind (financial, emotional ...) to cloud their decisionmaking and justify wrong behavior. Applaud the young man and don't turn something that was never about race into a race question ... for any reason.
