Driving more careful now!
Last night I was headed home late at night on FM 2208 in Marion County, TX.  The speed limit is 60 MPH, but being as tired as I was, I was going anywhere from 45-65.  It was raining and dark or I would have put on my cruise.  Unfortunately on of those times going 65 was coming up on a State Trooper!  He obviously had nothing better to do at midnight than pull over a Baptist preacher.  Guess what?  I had nothing better to do than pull over!  I was pretty sure that my night was getting ready to end badly.  I was coming from church and was wearing a suit, and the Trooper looked a little surprised to see a dude in a suit on a Monday night in the middle of nowhere!  He asked me what I did for a living, and I told him, "I am a preacher, although I am ashamed to admit it now."  Thankfully, this officer had a respect for "clergy" and sent me on the way with only a warning.  I wish that I could say there is a great moral to this story, but I have not thought of one yet.  Could be ya'll could help me?

Use your cruise?
ReplyDeleteDon't drive at night?
Run from the police that way you will attract more attention to your ministry?
