The importance of life is what you do with it."

"The importance of life is what you do with
it."
******************************************************
A man was
being tailgated by a stressed-out woman on a busy boulevard.
Suddenly,
the light turned amber, just in front of him. He did the right
thing,
stopping at the crossing, even though he could have beaten the red
light by
accelerating through the intersection.
The
tailgating woman was furious and honked her horn, screaming in
frustration
as she missed her chance to get through the intersection,
dropping
her cell phone and makeup. 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 holding cell.
After a
couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the
door. The
woman 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 out at the guy in front of you, and cussing a blue
streak at
him. I noticed the 'What Would Jesus Do' bumper sticker, the
'Choose
Life' license plate holder, the 'Follow Me to Sunday School' bumper
sticker
and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk. Naturally,
I assumed
you had stolen the car."
