Randy and the Rainbow

I was driving down the highway in the rare early fall rain and saw the flashers of the car in the highway. I wondered what was going on for a moment. Then I saw the tractor in the water. A man was in trouble and the car was Randy's. Randy had gone into the cold, murky agricultural ditch water to help. He was up to his waist.



An ambulance came. A wrecker. Friends and neighbors. The whole world. We're a tiny community and one person's big problem results in lots of helping hands.

And I had a real treat as I drove home, wet, and the sun gave us one last "look what I can do."
