Discovering Mercy/Being Forgiven of $331.00

I got a speeding ticket for going 54 in a 35 zone right in my Hometown one Monday last July.

Bail….$331.00 american dollars.

I paid the fine and went to traffic court to explain why…

I was surprized by what I found–

  1. The Judge
  2. My accusor
  3. The Law
  4. Authority
  5. My Guilt
  6. Other guilty people
  7. and then…Mercy

Long Story Short…I got forgiven the ticket and my money back because they lacked a document.

My “Aha” moments…

Law and authority is real and can really change your life–ask they guy who lost his licence.

Mercy, grace, and forgiveness is cool and we/I need to play it forward–give mercy to those around me-by the handfuls.

I think I will slow down as well…
