Parking lots can be dangerous. Consider being in the car with me a couple weeks ago while I was exiting a parking lot via the designated vertical lane when suddenly some guy in a big, white SUV barreled across the parking lot horizontally. If I had been a few feet closer, he would have rammed right into the side of my little car sending me into next week! The horrible thing is that this guy was completely oblivious to the fact that he almost t-boned me in front of all the patrons sipping their coffee in Borders. The nerve of some people! Then, to make things worse a few days later I was at a 4-way stop and I swear on a stack of Bibles that I was the first person to arrive there; however, some idiot, jerk, or clown (as my dad used to call bad drivers) punched the gas and went right in front of me. I always try to scare people when they do this by also punching my gas and pretending that I am going to ram the side of their car. Good way to get shot…the bird. To make a long story short, I have decided to give up driving. Really. There are a few people on the road who shouldn’t have a license and they have ruined my driving experience.
Although the first part of the story is true (those driving incidents really did occur), I am not giving up my driving privileges. Yes, there are a few bad drivers on the road, but I refuse to allow them to ruin my daily travel.
There are also bad people and experiences in the church, but you should not allow a couple of negative individuals or experiences keep you from church.
