The other day, I was taking Jack to lunch. We were driving out of the nieghborhood when a lady came flying up behind us only to ride my tail.
So, I decided to get out and ask her why she needed to ride so closely.
I didnt put the car in park. It rolled into her. Egads!
Well, I called the sheriff, and he came and took out statements. Actually, two came. I chatted with one, and he told me how a dude did what I did and got shot in the head by the two guys who were tailgating him. I started to get the message.
Then, the other sheriff came and talked to me. He told me that he wasnt going to arrest me. I’m like yea. Then, he said, “but, I could”. I am like, “what?” Yea, when I got out of my car, he said it was assault. I never heard of this.
But, he could tell that I wasnt fired up or upset or mad or anything and that I didnt mean any harm. I asked if I could apologize. He said no.
So, I got a ticket for improper braking. He said that she could still swear out a warrant, and I could too. I said that I wasnt going to do that.
Well, God started showing me. I am not the one to go confront everyone’s sin. There is no need to pick a fight with everyone. Take the word to the ones that He shows me and lay low the rest of the time.
The next time, I will simply pull over and let them drive right on by.
My heart still feels this one.
