Drive By

It’s raining today in Tulsa. One of those days you just want to sit inside sipping coffee. Today is my day off and I don’t drink coffee. So as I was out and about I saw what I thought was a particularly sobering and remarkable thing. I saw 2 guys riding bikes. Whoa! Not just 2 guys but 2 Mormons or 2 Jehovah’s Witness’s riding in the rain. Now if that’s not enough to convict you about dedication to a cause here’s the kicker. They were riding through an intersection frequented by panhandlers. I was trying to read the lamenanated sign of one well prepared beggar when the 2 men in black stopped to chat. Not to me because I had my windows rolled up and I was way too busy with unimportant things to chat with anybody. That chatted with the panhandler. I don’t know what they talked about. I’m sure it wasn’t related to the NCAA tourney. But watching it all unfold really got me thinking. What comes to your mind?
