Blind

A good friend of mine has an after-retirement job. Like some people, he prefers to keep working until his body gives completely out. This is a blessing for our country because we are deficient in individuals who are not allergic to work.

In any case, he works for the VA, traveling veterans to their various doctor appointments. He is the perfect employee because of his strength, intelligence and, especially, his sense of humor.

The other day he was transporting a blind vet. As he was putting him into the van, he asked a shocking question. He said to the veteran, “I’m sorry, but did I ask you if you would prefer to drive?”

The old man laughed and said, “I would like to, but I will tell you how to get where we are going.” This handicapped individual had every exit and distance recorded in his head and gave excellent directions.

My friend would tell people, “I had a blind man leading me today.”

Seriously though, what my friend did was not biblical:

Luke 6:39

And He spoke a parable to them: “Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into the ditch?

Just out of curiosity, who is leading you?

Think about it.
