I was driving in Ft. Walton Bch around 1979 when my car just went dead. I was on busy Eglin Parkway. Now I had money and even roadside assistance but still needed to get my car out of the traffic.

After about 5 minutes a car stopped and the driver got out and helped me push the car to the median. He then drove me to my Sister’s house where I called my insurance company.

The only guy to stop (actually probably others would have also stopped but he was the first) was a Korean Southern Baptist Preacher.

I was driving home from work fairly late in the evening when my car just stopped. I coasted to the side of the road wondering what I was going to do. I didn't have a cell phone and it was a long walk to the next exit.

Inside of thirty seconds a van pulled up behind me and a dozen teens spilled out. They asked if I needed help and I said yes. Three of the boys poked around under the hood, declared that it was beyond their skills and offered to call a tow truck.

While we were waiting for the truck to arrive they shared their sandwiches, pop and story with me. They were a local youth group and they had been having a prayer meeting when they were impressed that they were to get out and drive around until they found someone who needed help.

That someone apparently was me.
