It is a natural reaction: I note a law enforcement vehicle and I glance at my speedometer. I hear that snicker, but I know why you do the same thing.
If I have to slow down, I don’t feel so good. Occasionally I can be seen nervously studying my rear-view mirror. If I’m caught doing 64 in a 65 zone, I feel really good. And my attention stays fixed on the road ahead.
When the Eternal Lawgiver turns His head my direction, does He see me in line or out of line with His laws? Whenever my actions and the motives behind them reflect well His ways, I feel really good, and my attention stays fixed on the road ahead. A growing love for God will translate into my being caught more often doing 64, not 74, in a 65 mph zone.
Happy travels!

About Me
- Tim G.
- Born in Topeka, Kansas and having grown up in eastern Kansas (Lawrence, Desoto, Pittsburg, and Topeka), I am originally native to the area. Once living in Kansas, I have lived in each of the following states as well: Missouri, Oklahoma, Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, and California. My wife and I have two married daughters, two sons-in-law, and four grandchildren. Gray hair is earned, not given out. (No cats, dogs, parrots, mice, bugs or alligators, but lots of frogs.) One of the best things about being a parent is that you learn a lot about The Father and His love for His children.
