The Daily Ricky

The scariest and funniest time I ever had was at Christ for the Nations Bible Institute in Dallas.

It was during summer school on a beautiful summer night, I believe it was on a Tuesday.

A bunch of us went bowling. We left the bowling alley a couple minutes to curfew.


I had a small Celica jammed packed with guys. I knew the only way we might make it in time was for me to drive fast, I told the boys to hold on!

We were almost home when I topped a hill and saw the lights, I had been caught by a policeman!

I told the boys to be quiet, I would handle this. When the policeman came up to my window, I had my license pulled out and waiting.

He came up to my window and said, do you know how fast you were going/ I replied in a deaf mute kind of way, me deaf; me deaf. The officer fell out laughing and told me to go on but, slow down!

We made it back to school late, but did not get caught, until morning!

In this life, there are rules we must obey; even if we don’t like them. The Lord tell us that we must obey those in charge.

Speeding is a sin, no two ways about it, I was sinning and I was caught. Luckily the person doing the stopping had pity on some college kids who need acting lessons!

Breaking man’s law costs us money but, breaking His laws can have eternal consequences.

Lord, keep us on the straight path and help us see Your Ways clearly. Amen!!!
