Yesterday I led the church through a worship service and we discussed dreaming about how we can impact our immediate neighbors.
Afterwards, I went to Haggen and a guy speeding through the parking lot had to slam his brakes so he didn’t hit me in the crosswalk.
My Confession: I almost flipped him off. After leaving the service talking about loving God and Neighbor, I was half a second away from giving this guy his half of a peace sign. Whoopsie.
My question: Why do we smile and wave when we almost kill people with our vehicles? I’ve almost hit a person who came out of nowhere before, and I did the exact same thing this guy did. Smile and wave. Does this make it better?
It’s that… Oh..$### I nearly killed you.. so sorry I’m an idiot. Have a nice day… moment. lol Been on both sides of it.
I thought your confession was going to be that you screwed up the star spangled banner…anyway, you should just put your hands together in a prayer pose and bow your head at the people you almost hit. See if that works better.
namste Audrey.
