I have written before about my penchant for picking up trash on University and church grounds, but I have not confessed to another pickup habit: road kill.
Yes, I pick up road kill-- that is, those things that i find in the road that kill tires. I blame Dr. Matt Green for this. Many a time I am happily peddling down the road on my bike when I spy, with my little eye, a screw, nail, or piece of sharp metal. Matt always picked these up, and he inspired me. On my bike, I am typically 5-15 yards past the object before I realize what it was and stop. This slows me quite a bit, but my conscience is a bit over-sensitve, so I stop, back up and try to determine waht I saw and where it was.
Today in the 3 brief miles from my office to home I found three road kills:
It is a small thing I do, but if I save a tire or two it is worth the time and effort I guess.
It is not a small thing to share Christ with people, and if we do it, we may save a soul or two.
Hard to beat that return on a little time and effort.
