From Alabama - she was young and had just had a baby. The father deserted her. So I always ask questions because I am curious if it is a job or are they a believer.
At one point I said "do you really believe this?" She said 'no' and started crying. She told me about the baby and how she wished she would have had an abortion but at the time she believed it was best to finish the pregnancy. After the Dad lit out, this was the only job she could get. Minimum wage of course. That was about 10 to 15 years ago.
I felt bad cause I was afraid he would lose her job, but lord what a mess she was in.
