I am normally very careful but I did something years ago that I would probably not do today.

I discovered I was going to be overdrawn at the bank the next day because I had forgotten to deposit a check. At 11pm I got in the P/U truck and at the last minute decided to take my 2 Rhodesian Ridgeback with me.

I was at a red light by the freeway when a black kid pushing his bike approached my truck. He said he was lost and could I tell him how to get to Sugarland.

He was about 20 miles from there and I told him to put his bike in the back of the P/U and get in there with it. My dogs would not have taken kindly to him getting into the cab with us.

I took him home and he thanked my profusely. I have thought about this often and if I had not taken the P/U and the dogs, this kid may not have ever made it home without being run over. He as a black kid, dressed in black clothes and riding a a black bike in the middle of the night on a busy freeway. BTW I am a white female.

There was once a traveler on the road between Jericho and Jerusalem who got the crap beaten out of him by a gang of thugs.

The smart Pharisee and the Levite knew enough to pass by his body without touching him.

The idiot Samaritan was a little more like you.............

It may have been dark out that night, but somebody saw, and He will remember........
