AOL.com Article - Tips for Jesus: Mystery Man Strikes Again
From AOL.com
Toney Atkins comments: Where is this man? I could use a tip (other than "don't take any wooden nickles"). It is Christmastime and I am broke. Pore me, I whine, when so many in this country and the world are suffering much more than I. God bless the Tips for Jesus man, and I would like to believe I would do the same if I had the funds to do so. Merry Christmas to him and to everyone reading this post. Help the needy this holiday season, and continue to spread love and peace.
