So last weekend we had a service auction for an enrichment activity. Lots of fun and great items and services were offered. In order to get the money for the bidding, we had to complete a lengthy form of questions. For example, "do you pray daily, do you exercise, do you do your visiting teaching, etc." One item for marking was, "You have never received a ticket." I am 36 yrs old and still belonged to the no-speeding-ticket club. As it turned out, I was the only one at my full table to hold such an honor. Yes, I enjoyed the gasps of, "no way....you're kidding....you're so lucky." Maybe I enjoyed it a little too much and yes, I forgot to knock on wood. Less than twelve hours later karma smacked me right in the face. I GOT MY FIRST SPEEDING TICKET!!! Why did I have to vocalize this the night before? I sent that little bit of information out into the universe and the universe heard me loud and clear. Guess I needed a little humbling....about $95 worth of humbling!! When I got pulled over I was so stunned about the strange timing that I was laughing. I told the cop my story (and asked for a warning but he declined). He was amused and replied, "You've only been lucky. We all speed." I cannot deny the truth in that. (I did manage a photo (thank you google) for this post even if my computer still stinks)
