Today after work I decided to stop and pick up a couple groceries at D&W in east town and I ran into Rob Bell which could have been a chance to say hi and tell him I go to Mars Hill, but that’s not what happened…. becasue I literally ran into him as in my cart hit his. I wasn’t paying attention where I was walking and he was pushing his daughter in one of those big carts for kids. When I looked up to apologize and saw who it was I was a first shocked then embarrassed and couldn’t bring myself to say anything besides ‘sorry.’
When I was ready to check out the shortest line happened to be the one Rob was standing in so I went to it and got behind him hoping not to be recognized as the girl who ran into his cart earlier and I could have a second chance to say hi and something nice . But I chickened out and just looked at his daughter so as to avoid the risk of eye contact. Pretty pathetic I know, but I guess I now have a funny story to tell about “running into” Rob Bell!
