Had I just flunked Good Samaritan 101? I ordered and ate my lunch in the pain of self-reproach. It’s ironic: you can think of several things you might have said or done for someone after they have slipped through your fingers. I examined myself and wondered: if I had deeply cared about this poor fellow, would I have simply allowed him to drive off when he didn’t have the slightest idea where he was? I am glad God is merciful and patient - mindful of my human frailty, but it’s embarrassing to consider how much less prepared I was, than I should have been, when He put a troubled traveler in my path.
