The driver of a Porsche 911 in San Francisco's Marina district found his impatience leading to one of life's most embarrassing moments. Tired of waiting in traffic in a construction zone, he attempted to take a short cut over what turned out to be wet cement. Construction workers spent hours trying to gently extract him and his ruined car from their cement cocoon. To make matters worse, the consequences of his impatience were put on YouTube. Worse than foolish impatience in traffic that ruins a car is impatience with God that can ruin a life. Join us as we learn the danger of impatience with God.
