NEIGHBOR

The famous question asks: 'Who is my neighbor?'

So, to help answer that question, an experiment was done on a state highway with a 22-year old actress, playing a driver-in-distrss in 5 distinct roles.

Career Woman: Dressed in a double-breasted suit she stood by her 'hood-up, broken-down' Pontiac Grand Am, holding a 'stop' sign and waited for help. Sixty-two vehicles and a minute-and-a-half later, Bill Leonard pulled over to help her.

Pregnant Woman: Disguised with eight months of padding, she waited 2.5 minutes while more than 100 cars whizzed past. To the rescue - two people - Bob Smith and Dorothy Jenning, stopped in the AMBULANCE they were driving. They had to make a U-turn on the highway to do it.

Little Old Lady: She had to wait nearly five minutes and watch 200 cars go by before two people pulled over to help her ... college co-ed Glenna Newell and land surveyor, Greg Smith.

Hippie Girl: In torn jeans, a wild floral top and a wild blond wig, no one stopped at all! She stood by her car for over 15 minutes and watched 400 cars, trucks, vans, buses and motorcycles drive by. No one even slowed down.

Mini-Skirted Nymph: She barely got the hood of her car put up when Ed Kent barreled to a stop right behind her. Her questionable 'damsel in distress' outfit stopped traffic in nine seconds.

Remember Jesus' answer to the question: "Who is my neighbor?" Nearness does not make neighbors. Probably the great question is not, "Who is my neighbor?", but "Am I neighborly?"

So -- are you?

And be blessed.
