Speeder

The blue lights came out of nowhere and I knew I had been had. I watched the trooper in the review mirror and realized this was going to make a dent in my wallet. Bending down and staring me eyeball to eyeball he asked, “Are you in a hurry?”

 I said, “No, I was just speeding.”

 He replied, “OK, just keep it down.” He then returned to his car and drove away.

I’ve told some lies in my lifetime to make believe I was better than I really am, but that time, I just admitted the truth. The truth paid off and I think the trooper appreciated it because he so seldom heard it.

Proverbs 12:22 

Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who act faithfully are his delight. 

1 John 1:8 

If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

Give it some thought; it could save you some money and who knows what else.
