When asked, I’m the neighbor that will feed the cat, water the plants, and take in the mail. It is ironic to witness an incredibly hypnotic spider web in the home of an arachnophobic. Two years ago I brushed a spider off of Annette’s back porch, and humbly rewarded with a plate of fresh baked cookies.
What fun it would be to send Annette a photo of her kitchen. Temptation is at play. What Would Jesus Do? (WWJD) Love thy neighbor comes to mind. Sorry spider, you need to find a new home. Today I choose lame store bought cookies.

That’s the right choice, I think. I hope they’re chocolate biscuits, though. Otherwise his decision may be different next time!

That is such tricky temptation. I suppose it depends on how much s/he likes being the neighbour that helps out. Sending that photo might reduce the work load. 🙂

I think I’d also choose to be kind to both the spider and the neighbor and buy the cookies. Good writing, Dan. 🙂 — Suzanne

It is tempting to tell others of our good deeds… then that kind of is beside the point when we are being good Samaritans…
