Two days ago I was driving in our city and saw someone riding "piggy back". On a school playground, this would not be unusual but these were young men. As I drove by I took a closer look, the one who was being carried had a serious problem with his legs and the other young man was carrying him. Suddenly any problems I had just seemed so trivial. Would I be willing to carry someone like that? Why didn't they have a wheel chair for him?

Driving around our city can be a very powerful experience. If you would like to read a lengthy account written by one of my co-workers in Manila, just look for Sean Ransom's blog on this same site. It is about the man under the bridge.
