Pastor's Note
SNOWY DAY SAMARITANS
PermalinkYesterday, 17 February 2021, a friend's vehicle was stuck in the snow three blocks from my house. (Such things rarely happen in Memphis!) As I was booking it through the snow to help, a guy passing by on Tutwiler stopped and gave me a ride. Five minutes after his call, my buddy was already getting help from a dude in a really big pickup. A second total stranger was standing nearby just in case he was needed. Today, I scooped the last bit of Lucy's dog food. Thinking the bucket underneath was more of the same, I discovered it was instead filled with hard winter wheat. Decided to hike to Big Lots (one mile away) to get more Alpo. On my way home, as the snow was steadily falling and with my backpack having gained 15 lbs. of dog chow, a man stopped to ask where I was headed. Pretty sure he thought I was a homeless guy out in the blizzard with no place to go. Or maybe he figured there had to be a Silver Alert out for me. Some might think my neighborhood is a little sketchy. Today, I would have to disagree.
