A driver did the right thing by stopping at a school crosswalk even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection.

The tailgating woman behind him went balistic pounding on the horn, screaming in frustration as she missed the chance to drive through the intersection behind him.

Still in mid-rant, she heard a tap-tap-tap on her window and looked into the face of a very serious policeman.  The officer ordered her to exit the car with her hands up.  He took her to the police station where she was searched, photographed, fingerprinted and placed in a holding cell.

After a couple of hours, a guard approached and opened the door.  She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects.

He said, "Ma'am, I'm awfully sorry for this mistake.  You see, as I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn and cussing a blue streak, I noticed the What-would-Jesus-do license-plate holder, the 'Follow me to Sunday School' bumper sticker, the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk and the 'My boss is a Jewsish carpenter' sticker in your back window.  Naturally I assumed the car had been stolen."

This is just one of those e-mail-circulated stories, but it has a good moral.  You can't be a good witness for Christ and an idiot at the same time.  Please, don't even try.

Blessings and safe driving!  Jeanie

NOTE TO SELF:  Do not be rude.  Go the extra mile to adapt.  Let the other car in.  Be kind.  Say "please" and "thank-you."  Be careful not to offend.  What would He do, anyway?
