When Ron called his buddy Jeff, it was almost midnight. "I've got a flat tire and no jack! It's pouring rain!" Ron said.

This is Howard Butt, Jr., of Laity Lodge. Jesus said there's no greater love than to lay down your life for your friend. By definition, that kind of love will be inconvenient. Most likely it will come with unanswered questions and bad weather.
