A man was being tailgated by a woman on Foothill Boulevard. Suddenly, the light turned yellow just in front of him. He did the right thing by stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection. The tailgating woman slammed on the brakes and leaned on the horn. She opened her window, stuck her hand out and made a gesture, all the while screaming in frustration as she'd missed her chance to get through the intersection, because of him. As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of a very serious police officer.
The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up. He took her to the police station where she was searched, fingerprinted, photographed, and placed in a cell. After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the door. She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects. He said, "I'm very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping the guy off in front of you, and cussing a blue streak at him. I noticed the 'Choose The Right' license plate holder, the 'Families are Forever' bumper sticker, the 'Follow Me to Sunday School' bumper sticker, and the chrome-plated Angel Moroni emblem on the trunk. Naturally, I assumed you had stolen the car!"

Teaching No Greater Call: A Resource Guide for Gospel Teaching
(Please, click on the image to go to the website). This teaching resource book helps parents, teachers, and leaders improve the spiritual and technical aspects of their gospel teaching. It is intended as a personal study guide, as the main resource for teacher improvement meetings, and as the manual for the Teaching the Gospel course.
I really had to laugh at that story. Thanks for the Blog Georgette,
