Sexual Offender: Marked for Life

I was looking through the mail this evening and I came across this interesting semi-scary looking piece of literature.The reverse side has a mug shot of a person with their address, hight, weight, eye color, offense and other pertinent information informing us that this person is living in our area.

I had always read about communities having a sex offender list but I never gave it much thought. When I showed it to my buddy who was with me the first thoughts were how this poor person will live with this info following them for the rest of their life, wheather they change or not. Then we dicided that it might be nice to take them supper sometime. After all, we know their name and where they live, and they probably don't get many visitors. We didn't do it yet but I am sure two able bodied young men don't have much to fear, especially given the picture of this poor soul.

In case you can't read it, the fine print gives some common sense safety tips on this side, and the other side has a warning informing me that using the enclosed information to commit a crime is a bad idea (I didn' t read that part too close, Is providing a meal considered a crime?). That is one reason I am being careful, the other is just to preserve this person's dignity. Also remember that the definition for "Sex Offender" is rather broad.

Could this be the modern day "samaritan" or "tax collector" ?
Thats all for now, and let's remember to pray for this person.
