How Embarrassing

You know that arm motion drivers do when they are utterly overwhelmed with irritation and they throw up both arms in questioning disgust toward the other driver/pedestrian? Well, my friend told me yesterday that he was the recipient of that arm motion. Sunday morning. In the church parking lot. As he was walking to his car. From a church member driving out of the parking lot! My friend stepped in front of the car thinking it would stop. It sort of did, but then my friend stopped. It was one of those- "you go, no, you go first, after you" kind of things where no one is sure who is going to go forward and it's an awkward back and forth. My friend sort of waved his hand and smiled and then the woman gave him that response. It really shocks me. I mean, if you can't come out of an uplifting time together with other Christians and even make it out of the parking lot before the world's ways take over then there is something seriously wrong!
