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–
- The Judge
- My accusor
- The Law
- Authority
- My Guilt
- Other guilty people
- 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…
