RINGS

I don’t know exactly how old Rings is, but he’s definitely what you would call an old man. I also don’t know where he was born or what his real name is; he simply goes by "Rings". His home is the cab of his pick-up, which he parks near downtown Ocean Beach, California. He is a chain smoker, an ex-convict, ex-addict, and ex-alcoholic. Rings likes to say that if Jesus saved him, then Jesus is able to save anyone and everyone. So instead of using his monthly cheque to buy alcohol or a hotel room for himself, he spends all of it on food at the local supermarket. He transfers the food he buys to coolers in the back of his truck, then he drives to the beach and makes meals for his fellow-homeless. While preparing the food, Rings tells the gathering crowd about the freedom that Jesus brought into his life. He tells them that God is the One Who told him to feed others with his money and that it’s because God loves each of them. This man gives everything he has to others - literally everything - because he knows he has nothing that wasn’t given to him by God!
