Well isn't that ironic...

I am notorious for speeding. If the speed limit is 55mph, I'll go 60-65mph. The interstate automatically means at least 80mph. I've always been this way and I've never gotten a ticket. After thinking about why I've never gotten a ticket (or been pulled over more than I have, which has been 3 times), I came to this conclusion: we tithe. We tithe regularly. That's why we have never had the extra expense of a speeding ticket because we obey God's command, therefore He blesses us for obeying. When I came to this conclusion Saturday, I told Brad. "I've figured it out! The reason I have never gotten a speeding ticket is because we tithe!" He agreed and we went about our business. Fast forward to Monday morning. Mom and I are checking our rental property to make sure everything is ok from the freezing weekend. We were allllmost done, I'm bee-bopping along down the road and then I see it.....a cop clocked me. I was pretty sure the speed limit was 50mph, and I was only going 60mph, so I figured I was in the clear. Nope. Blue and red lights. Crap. I immediately pulled over. Officer Robertson informed me that I was going 54mph in a 35mph zone!!! I looked at him and said, "WHAT! I thought it was 50mph!" He then said, "I need to see your license." Umm....ok. Then my mother screams, "Do you know Josh??" (My brother-in-law that's a cop.) He looked at her funny and said, "Uhh..no." And he walked away. Crap, that didn't work! Then about 5 minutes later he came back, handed me my license and said, "Have a great day!" PRAISE THE LORD! No ticket! God has a funny sense of humor sometimes. :)
