In yesterday's post, the 'Going to Court over a Speeding Ticket' was my sister Jennifer. She needed to contest her first speeding ticket. (Her photo from that time period on left.)
Jennifer felt that the judge would understand that she needed to speed going down a hill in order for her car to make it up the following hill.
She was nervous about going to court. My father reminded her that it would be a good way to learn...an adventure and a learning experience.
After her 'logical' explanation of speeding and many nervous tears, the judge still made her pay the fine. However, Jennifer will tell you that it was a good learning experience. It made her braver in the future when dealing with serious issues.
Sometimes we are put to the test with smaller things so when the bigger ones come along, they don't seem so big.
