Chariots of fire in the suburbs
I love the Bible stories in each weekly Christian Science Bible Lesson published in the Christian Science Quarterly and really search for their application to my daily life. One very practical application became clear on a drive to my Christian Science branch church one Sunday morning.
Shortly after I pulled out of my Georgia subdivision onto a small road, another car pulled out in front of me, heading in the same direction. The car was going slowly and weaving between the lanes. The driver appeared to be preoccupied with something next to her and began applying makeup when she stopped at the first stop sign.
My first response was agitation. The driver could have allowed me to pass before pulling onto the road! There was no room on the narrow road to pass the driver, so it appeared I was going to be stuck behind her for several miles. I’d allowed myself just enough time to get to church, so I figured this delay was going to make me late. My frustration was growing with each thought, and I could hardly wait until we reached an area where I could pass the driver.
