T.D. Jakes was returning to Texas after a speaking engagement.
When his plane arrived , there was a limousine there to transport
him
to his home in Dallas. As he prepared to get into the limo, he
stopped
and spoke to the driver. "You know" he said, "I am almost 50 years
old and I have never driven a limousine .
Would you mind if I drove it for a while?" The driver said, "No
problem. Have at it." T.D. gets into the driver's seat and they head
off down the highway. A short distance away sat a rookie State Trooper
operating his first speed trap. The long black limo went by him
doing
70 in a 55 mph zone.
The trooper pulled out and easily caught the limo and got out of his
patrol car to begin the procedure.
The young trooper walked up to the driver's door and when the glass
was
rolled down he was surprised to see who was driving.
He immediately excused himself and went back to his car and called
his supervisor. He told the supervisor, "I know we are supposed to
enforce the law but I also know that important people are sometimes
given certain courtesies. I need to know what I should do because I
have stopped a very important person."
"The supervisor asked, "Is it the governor?"
The young trooper said, "No, he's more important than that."
The supervisor said, "Oh, so it's the president."
The young trooper said, "No, he's even more important than
that."
The supervisor finally asked, "Well then, who is it?"
The young trooper said, "I think it's Jesus because
he's got T.D. Jakes for a chauffeur !!!!!
"He refreshes and restores my life" Psalm 23:3 "Growth begins when
we
begin to accept our own weakness"
"Nothing ever comes to one, that is worth having, except as a result
of hard work"
