From Jim:
So I was in Florida recently for a conference. I was driving to the church building one day and a friend asked to follow me, since he wasn't sure how to get there from the hotel. I had forgotten that we had tolls to pay, so as we were pulling up to the toll booth, a thought came into my mind: "I should pay Matt's toll." But then I thought, "No, I don't want to look cheesy, like I'm that guy paying the toll, like I was trying to be a good Christian or whatever." Then as we pulled up to the toll, fishing around in the change pile, my wife says, "We should pay Matt's toll." Mildly surprised, I say, "No, we don't want to look like "those guys" and we'll need the change on the trip back to the hotel." So we didn't pay the toll. Arriving at the church building, Matt gets out and his wife drives off in the car. We ask, "Where's she going?" "Well," he says, "I forgot to bring my toothbrush and so she's going to buy one, and then she's going to stop by the bank, since we didn't have any cash for the toll and had to scrape together 17 cents from our pockets." Ugghhh... Could God have been any clearer?
