Does She Really Believe?

If she really believed in angels wouldn’t she drive faster?

Creature of habit that I am - during my morning commute, several days a week I fall in behind an older woman driving a rickety maroon Oldsmobile. The old car has one of those “I Believe in Angels” bumper-stickers. She drives very slowly. When entering 35E from Ayd Mill Road, she takes the entrance ramp at about 20 mph. Those who know me know I’m a pretty cautious driver - but really - you can take that ramp at 35 almost 40 mph.

Today she went even slower and I got to thinking that if she really believed in angels shouldn’t she just hit the gas and hope for the best - - it will turn out all right in the end.
