Dear Baba Rumcake,
What is the best way to deal with sidewalk hogs?
I don’t feel like I should be the one to walk in the grass (or mud), because I am walking by myself.
I need to know the most polite way to handle this problem, while not just letting people walk all over me.

The Good Samaritan Did
This is God’s way of teaching each of us humility and acceptance with joy. There are those times when we will be The Good Samaritan but those are the easy times. When we are on the receiving end, our true natures are uncovered. Woe to him who has his soul uncovered and does nothing; for hardness of heart will set in and God will not speak of that again.
The Good Samaritan tells of a man from Samaria, who found a wounded Jew on the side of the road and stopped to help.
Why the need to tell of the others who passed by before the Samaritan? Why was it so vital to the story to mention those others who fell short of grace!
Because they were the ones who should have stopped by all accounts. The one was of his ilk so to speak, the other was a teacher and a holy man.
The most unlikely was the Samaritan who could have just as easily ignored the assaulted man. In truth if the reverse were the case, the Jew would not have even given him a second glance since they thought so little of Samaritans.
God sometimes puts us in situations where we do not have everything, where we need others, even people we would normally not appreciate or regard.

Sweet Serenity with Books in Sequestered Nooks
“The love of learning, the sequestered nooks, And all the sweet serenity of books” — Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Whether you like reading while holding a book in your hands or reading on a well lit screen where the words glow at you, you are still a reader of the written word.
A book is a friend and companion as your computer screen or i-pad or reader would be to you. There is a hesitation in some to admit their enjoyment for the practical use of electronic devices to achieve the same pleasure derived from pulp.
