A SURPRISE AT A TRUCK STOP
Ready or not, 2026 is coming straight at us! Here’s an experience to help you get ready.
Junior Neece had a deep and unique love and concern for the poor. Having grown up under difficult circumstances, he knew how hard poverty can be. In the 70’s even though he could neither read nor write, Junior went off to a southern university to play football. Because he was unusually big and strong, they weren’t worried about something as unimportant as going to class or passing a test. So, Junior rocked along knocking people out of his way on the gridiron.
Rev. Michael Owen knew about Junior’s work with the poor and invited him to speak in a church he was pastoring. The effect was electric as Junior’s message was so powerful and personal that people were moved to be more generous than usual. Mike wondered where this capacity had come from. Junior told him this story.
He stopped at a filling station to fill up for the long trip to Alabama. Junior figured that ought to take him maybe to Memphis, Tennessee. A disheveled old man walked up and ask if he could catch a ride south. At first, Junior was hesitant. Hitchhikers weren’t particularly safe, but something nudged him to give the man a ride.
“Sure,” Junior said. “Get in my pickup.”
As they rode down the highway. The old man began to ask questions. “Did you ever tell your wife and boys about your struggles growing up?”
Junior stared. How could this guy know he was married and had children?
The old man kept pressing. “You’ve had lots of painful experiences, haven’t you?”
Junior could feel his words cutting into him. The man began describing in detail some of Junior’s hardest moments. Tears started running down his face. He coughed and sputtered. This old man had touched the deepest places in his life, places he had tried to avoid. Junior began to feel the love of God shinning into his heart and moving him deeply. His road trip had turned into an epiphany.
Finally, the gas gauge indicated a need to fill up. Wiping the tears from his eyes, he pulled into a gas station and got out. “I’ll be right back,” he told the old man. He hung up the gas pump and got back in the truck. The old man had disappeared.
Long ago, the Apostle Paul told us to pay attention because some of have been visited by angles unaware. Expect them to be around you in 2026. Look for their touch. Such a visit forever changed Junior Neece’s life and it can yours. By the way, Junior learned to read and write through studying the Bible.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
