A Samaritan Pushing A Suburban
I was sitting at the corner of 9th and Broadway on Wednesday talking to my friend Bill when I looked up and saw a group of guys pushing a huge Chevy Suburban across Broadway. I noticed that joining three young African-American men was a guy all spiffed up in a suit and tie. I then looked closer and noticed it was my friend David White, the Executive Director of the Missouri Theatre Center for the Arts, our new home in the fall. I jumped up and helped out. I jokingly said, "Is this in your job description?" He shot back without hesitation, "Yes, it is." What an encouragement to me that was. Here we have a well-known civic leader, in a suit and tie, pushing a Suburban for complete strangers. That's what Jesus does, friends. And yes, it is in our job description.
