What to think Please take the time to read these lines!!!! Think of this story on the next trip home: Andi looked at his speedometer again before he slowed down: 79 within a village. The fourth time in the same number of months. How could a guy be caught so often? When he slowed down his car at 10 km/h Andi drove right. The policeman who had stopped him got out of his car with a thick notebook in the H Christian? Christian from the church? Andi sank deeper into his seat. That was worse now than the ticket. A Christian cop caught a guy from his own church. A guy who was a little tense after a long day in the office. A guy who wanted to play golf tomorrow. When he jumped out of his car he saw the policeman who he saw every Sunday in the church. He had only seen the man in uniform. “Hi Christian. Strange that we see each other so much again. “Hello Andi.” No smile. “I see You caught me coming home in my hurry to see my wife and children.” “Yes, that’s how it is.” Christian, the policeman seemed unsure. “I only came out of the office very late the days. I also think I broke the traffic rules more than once.” Andi was nervous and impatient. “Do you understand what I mean?” “I know what you mean. I also know that you just broke a law.” Time to change tactics. “How much did you get me?” “Seventy. Would you please put yourself back in your car?” “Oh Christian, please wait a moment. I immediately looked at the tacho when I saw you! I appreciated myself at 65 km/h!” Andi could lie better with every ticket. “Please Andi, sit back in your car.” Annoyed Andi squeezed through the still open door. A bang. Door shut. He stared at his arm. Christian was busy writing on his notepad. Why didn’t Christian want to see driver’s license and papers? Whatever the reason was, it would pass a few Sundays until he would sit down in the church next to these policemen again. Christian knocked on the door. He had a note in his hand. Andi opened the window, a maximum of 5 cm, just enough to take the note. Christian gave him the note. “Thank you.” Andi couldn’t get the disappointment. Christian sat back in the car without losing a word. Andi waited and looked through his mirror. Then he folded the note. What would this fun cost him again? Hej! Wait a minute! Was that a joke? This was not a ticket. Andi read: “Dear Andi, I once had a little daughter. When she was six years old she died in a traffic accident. Rightly advised, the guy drove too fast. A ticket, a fee and three months In prison and the man was free again. Free to hold his daughters again. All three he could love again. I had only one and I will have to wait until I come to heaven before I can hold them again. Thousand times I have tried to forgive this man. Thousand times I have thought I have managed it. Maybe I have managed it, but I have to think of them again and again. Also now. Pray for me. And please be careful, And i. My son is all I still have. Greetings Christian” Andi turned around and saw Christian’s car driving away. He drove down the road again. Andi looked until he could not see any more. Only 15 minutes later he drove slowly home. He prayed for forgiveness and arrived at home he took his surprised wife and children in his arms and pressed them firmly. Life is so valuable. Treat it with care. This is a very important message, please pass it on to all a Don’t forget, cars can be bought again – as many as you want. Human lives but … It’s funny, you get 1000 “witzes” sent by email and they spread like a fire, but when you start to send thoughtful letters that allude to life, people think twice before they distribute them. Strangely, if you continue to send this email, you won’t be able to send it to everyone from your addressbuc. Police Bureau Karlsruhe Beiertheimer Allee 16 D-76137 Karlsruhe
