But was he really?
And why wasn't he working?
They are questions I always ask.
I had no "homeless bag" in my back seat,
And I was in the wrong lane, so I
Passed him by.
But I couldn't get "off the hook" so easily.
The prodding kicked in.
I turned around at the next light,
Dug a tract and a bill out of my purse and
Headed back, this time in the
Right lane.
He took my gift and thanked me.
Perhaps I was mistaken.
Perhaps I just enabled him to
Buy booze.
But on the other hand, what if I
Enabled him to take a single step
Toward Jesus?
The risk was worth it.
