The light
turned yellow just in front of him. He did the right thing, stopping at the
crossing, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating
through the intersection. The tailgating woman was furious and honked her horn,
screaming in frustration, as she missed her chance to get through the
intersection, dropping her cell phone and makeup.
As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into
the face of a very serious looking policeman. The officer ordered her to exit
her car with her hands up. He took her to the police station where she was
searched, fingerprinted, photographed, and placed in a holding cell.
After a
couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the door. She was
escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer was waiting with
her personal effects. He said, "I'm very sorry for this mistake. You see,
I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, making rude
gestures and verbally cursing like there was no tomorrow.
I noticed
the What Would Jesus Do bumper
sticker, the Choose Life license
plate holder, the Follow Me to
Sunday-School bumper sticker, and the chrome-plated Christian Fish emblem on the trunk, so naturally....I assumed you
had stolen the car."
Practice
what you preach; often people can’t hear you because of what you’re doing, have
faith in the process of life and adopt the mindset of a lifelong learner.
