"The Drive By"

Today I rode my used new bike. I rode down Bouldercrest road and off the road and then over some mud.
I was waiting to get back on the road and go back home when all of the sudden I heard screaming and I was covered in red liquid.
It happened so fast but I realized I had been hit by a flying cup of ice and red juice. I looked up and saw a older model Nissan sedan with 3 or 4 boys inside. They were yelling. I could have done a lot of things but I just waved. I am glad it did not hit me in the face or was glass or a rock. I rode on back home not knowing how I felt. I decided I would jog a little. So I went back out. I was about a quarter mile from my house and I saw a handful of ice cubes go flying past me accompinied by a yell. It was the Nissan again. They missed me this time. I did not know if I was stupid or they were. I came back home after my run and washed the red juice off but I still do not know how I feel about the situation. For some reason I thought of these verses. --------------------------
Matthew 5
1Now when he saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, 2and he began to teach them saying:
3"Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
5Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
6Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
7Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
8Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
9Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called sons of God.
10Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

13"You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.
14"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
