A 9/12 World?

Yesterday, however I did stop. I had seen her when I was going to McDonalds, and so I said to myself, "Self, if she is there, when you come back toward home, you stop and ask if you can help. Maybe she has some banana bread." I said to myself, "OK, Bro-Lar, I'll do that."

I try to size up the situation, as much as possible, to minimize their anxiety. I saw she had her window partially down, because of the heat. I also noted that there was a lot of traffic there. I always try to stop in front of their vehicle, to be sure they see me and maybe I won't frighten them." She said her husband was on his way, so I went on my way.

That's my thoughts. That's what I did, when I drove by someone yesterday. BTW: she didn't offer me any banana bread.

Well Silly,
My Banana Bread was at home and he only got it because he drove me home... LOL

But honestly maybe someone on the forum was supposed to see it, because God has a special crossing of paths for a distressed motorist. If anyone benefits from my post, then to God be the Glory!

I always try to help if it seems like I can without placing my life in jeopardy. But there have been times when I left a situation feeling very conflicted and sad because I felt like I should have done something but just couldn't convince myself it was safe. I hate it that that is the world we live in.

` awww, geez, Thanks Dizzy!

Why not?

Yes, but you always knock people over with your hospitality. If folks on here knew there would be a line at the front door, that's why I am there to run them all off.
