Two days later, and I am still battling my feelings of humiliation as I remember how hot my face got when I was pulled over for a traffic violation in front of my son's school. I am not kidding. I thought such things only happened in sitcoms and romantic comedies.
I won't go into detail, but to paint the picture, the carpool line starts at the corner of the street. I was arriving early, had a fresh cup of coffee, and was planning to relax a few minutes with the Kindle app on my phone. As I reached the corner I saw the dreaded flashing lights. I had no idea they were for me. But they were for me, and since I was the first one in line, I had the pleasure of being on view as every carpool parent had to drive around me. I am still cringing.
Now this starts out as a cautionary tale, but ends in a lesson on grace. Do you know that not one of the carpool parents ridiculed, gossiped about me, or gave me smug looks? Oh, I got some looks, but they were ones of sympathy.
So thank you, Grove City Christian Academy parents, for your graciousness. It has helped my face cool down considerably.
