Some time ago, I posted a confession of sorts that I behaved in a decidely UN-Christian manner when afforded a chance to have a little chit-chat with some guy in a truck who was driving "aggressively", then showed me his IQ for my troubles. Anyway, I was stupid, yada yada yada, don't want to revisit that scenario. Asked for prayer on the manner, and I believe I got it.
So THIS morning, en-route to work, I am travelling in the rt ln of a 4 lane divided, limited access hwy, not a superslab, though. Traffic in front of me, traffic, traffic to the left of me, and ahead. So this woman in a brand-new car screams up to me left, begins to merge into my lane. She is at 9:00 to me. I honk, she moved up to the 10:00 and finished her merge.
Here is where it gets good, you'll all be proud. Between my honk and her merge (3-5 seconds) I rolled off the throttle, braked, let her in. Shook my head, resisted the tempatation to follow her to wherever she felt was more important to be than my life. Beyond shaking my head, I made no guestures (obscene or otherwise), no looks of unbelief to another cager, no mouthing of words. Took me exactly 15 seconds to calm down inside. God is good. I pray He continues to look after us and I pray I passed the test, no need for more testing...
