On my way in an elevator to see a Doctor, a group of older ladies got on. I was standing next to one when a phone rang and a loud voice said 'Have You Been Saved?" I was startled and said "What the hell was that?" She looked at me and made the sign of the cross. She said to the other ladies who had come in the elevator with her. "Help me save him!" Now all four of the ladies had opened some sort of prayer book and were wailing and chanting aloud in the elevator. When I got off they followed me into the hallway and down toward the Doctors office. By this time I am almost running to get away from these people and ducked into the first Dr's door that I came to. It was a doctor who was practicing OBGYN. I asked the receptionest if I could stay a while. All the women in the office were looking at me with all the ladies praying out loud around me. I was getting all kind of strange looks. Finally the receptionest took pity on me and took me into another room. I must admit I sat there and shook for a while. This was my first meeting with the Southern Baptists of the south. The only thing missing was cool ade. (For me , not for them)
