A comical note: My eighteen year old daughter took off with a friend on a car trip that will eventually encompass around 4000 miles of driving. She got a speeding ticket not 30 minutes from home before they had gotten out of town! I just laughed. Well, that's done. She's not in jail. The court date is after she gets back. And she'll be careful, now. God works in mysterious ways.
I'm fighting back anger this morning over a customer who was in the wrong and badgered our company until we gave them what he wanted. Already known as one of the problem children that we sometimes have to deal with, we just rewarded his bad behavior. That kind of thing doesn't help anybody, not us, and not him. Time that could have been spent on productive, properly proritized work was not, and like a spoiled child, he's incorrectly taught that bullying others is OK.
