<p>Springfield, MO —After a wonderful <a class="zem_slink" title="Church service" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_service">church service</a> preaching harmony and brotherhood, First &amp; Harmony <a class="zem_slink" title="United and uniting churches" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_and_uniting_churches">United</a> Church members were hell bent on getting out of the <a class="zem_slink" title="Parking lot" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parking_lot">parking lot</a>.</p>
<p>Cutting off Deacon Grover, Rebecca Shroud – the Children’s Music Minister – stealthily avoided a collision and exited onto Cherry Street, freed to meet her friends at lunch to discuss Reverend Mathis’ sermon on harmonious living.</p>
<p>Other churchgoers were not so lucky to escape quickly. Several of the <a class="zem_slink" title="Church (building)" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_%28building%29">congregation</a> were stuck in a long twisting line, jockeying for position toward the exits. Tighter than a pew on Easter Service, cars filled with recipients of the pastors message of hope and tolerance edged closer to the exit with little hope of avoiding a 20-minute wait.</p>
<p>One motorist, Gail Hubbard, patiently waited for an opening to make a left turn into the exit line when she suddenly snapped and gunned her minivan into a competitive position, nearly removing a <a class="zem_slink" title="BMW" rel="homepage" href="http://www.bmw.com/">BMW</a> bumper in the process.</p>
<p>Gene Roark was seen slamming his firsts onto his <a class="zem_slink" title="Steering wheel" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steering_wheel">steering wheel</a> cursing the devil’s <a class="zem_slink" title="Traffic congestion" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_congestion">traffic jam</a> then finally burst into tears. Secretary Jarvis tailgated Office Manager Joan Higgins <a class="zem_slink" title="Sport utility vehicle" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sport_utility_vehicle">SUV</a> as she cleared a path through the masses.</p>
<p>Reverend Mathis was seen bursting out the back of the church in his Bigfoot Crushin’ Crusadermobile, race down a runway flanked with bursting flames and fireworks and hit a ramp sending the Reverend into the air, over the parking lot and smash down a top the <a class="zem_slink" title="Playground" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playground">children’s playground</a> equipment, easily avoiding the congressional congestion.</p>
