Yes. I subbed for a few hours for one of my co-workers in the hosp. It was time for me to go home, but I saw that an older lady was confused about how to meet her taxi by the front door, since the front door was now locked. She was talking to a security guard and I thought she might need the personal touch. I explained to her that I could go with her outside and I showed her a comfy place to wait for her ride. She was a dear,sweet lady. After that , I tried to go home again, but noticed two people who needed to get to L and D. (Labor and Delivery. ) I made sure they got there. I love my job. Just because I have punched-out ,for the night, doesn't mean I have turned my back on people in need, Goodnight friend.

Well, Jeremy, I do not subscribe to any religion. I have had two direct experiences with The Ineffable. Don't see how I can put any human being between me and the Light. Does that make sense?
I have no idea if someone I do not know has decided to smile because of something I have done. I did a few good deeds today including teaching students how to deal with injured people who were also radiologically contaminated.
I called a person on the phone tonight (whom I do not know) and talked to her about Co-Masonry and why she wants to join. She seemed pleased to answer.
I told a lady who lives far away that I think she is beautiful and that I say what I mean. So, maybe I did a good deed or two. Mostly I just do what comes to me to do.
Have you smiled yet?

An old lady was getting on the bus, she didn't have any change and the driver wasn't able to break her $20. So I offered to pay for her. She was so happy that he didn't have to waste $20 on a $2 ticket..
And as to subscribing to any religion, I have to say I don't believe in religion all together. Religion divides people and keep them limited and close-minded. Following pointless rituals is not gonna help you be a better person, and it definitly does not bring you closer to god or anything. The only reason that religion is there to begin with, is because human beings desperately need to believe in something. They have created these so-called religeions in order to 1-feel safe 2-justify their actions in the name of god 3-control other people. 4-fill the void in their life.
What you believe is personal. I believe in being a good person and caring for other people. I believe that everyone is equal, and everyone's beliefs should be respected as long as no one is harmed.

Christianity. I did a good deed today but it didn't make someone I don't know smile....good deeds aren't like that except in Wonderland.

I'm agnostic. And I have no idea if I made someone I don't know smile. My questions tend to be seen as well thought out by the people who answer them, so maybe.

If you consider Satanism a religion, yes. And yeah, I made the chick I slept with last night smile. Does that count?

No religion, but follow Master Jesus' teachings.
I like to think of my life this way....
Everyone, at the end of their day, looks back on the days events for notable things to remember ( I like to think of them as highlight reels).
And everyday, I try to make as many smiles and highlight reels as possible. Even if it is something as simple as sharing bottled water or just listening to others' problems.
