Ouch!!

Tailgating

A man was being tailgated by a stressed out woman on a busy boulevard.

Suddenly, the light turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, 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 ver y serious police officer. The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up.

He took her to the police station where she was searched, finger printed, 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, flipp ing off the guy in front of you, and cussing a blue streak at him. 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. Naturally, I assumed you had stolen the car."

Our actions are our strongest testimony.

This is why I don't put Christian stuff on my car! No- just kidding.

Enjoyed looking at your blog! Found you through the WACAP group. We are in the WACAP Vietnam pioneer program, and hoping to bring home a baby boy. I'm a homeschool mom, too. We currently have 6 kids at home.

Congratulations on your good news. Hope things move quickly for you and your daughter is home soon!
