Perceptions and Unity

Waiting in a stop-light queue, I was almost home.  The line was long and it would be a couple of light changes before I’d reach the intersection where I’d be turning.

The car in front of me edged slowly forward and I noticed the rear license plate.

This common delay suddenly became nearly unbearable.  I was trapped in the middle of the line and thoughts became defensive while reading, ‘Do you follow Jesus this close?’ (All CAPS, of course)
