It hasn't happened in quite a long time: I got pulled over for speeding. I didn't argue at all because I was speeding. I was actually pretty frustrated with myself because I wasn't paying a lick of attention. I was going with the flow of traffic.
My initial thought was that this gentleman might need help as he was waving me over, until I saw he was in uniform (this was a motorcycle cop).
I know some would argue with the deputy that others were speeding, or that others were going faster (all true), but the reality is that getting caught is like fishing: all the fish aren't gonna get caught, but they might catch you. And the thing is: you can't get caught doing the wrong thing if you're not doing the wrong thing.
The good news for me is that I got off with a warning. And of course I'm thankful for that. No explanations were provided: I just
We love it when others are merciful to us, but are we happy enough to extend mercy to others? "For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment" (James 2:13).
