I just want to share an experience Ray and I had last week as we were returning home from the Jordan River Temple after our evening shift. It was late and we were tired and eager to get home and not paying attention to our speed limit as we were traveling along 6200 South, when Ray noticed some twirling lights behind us. Yep - that right!!! We were pulled over by a police officer. I'm sure we were quite wide-eyed when he approached our car. He inquired of us if we knew how fast we were going and after an loooonnng embarrassing moment, Ray took a "guess" which of course was not even close. Then the young officer asked for identification and as he was examining Ray's drivers license, he must have noticed that we were dressed in Sunday clothes and inquired as to where we were coming from. We told him.....the temple.....after which he immediately returned the drivers license, advised us to hereafter watch our speed limit and then said these wonderful words: "Thank you for doing the Lord's work."
Needless to say, Ray and I were surprised but so very thankful. We have a great appreciation for that young police officer and want to thank him for his courtesy and kindness.
Moral of the story: SOMETIMES THERE ARE UNUSUAL BLESSINGS THAT COME FROM SERVING IN THE TEMPLE!!!

I actually saw that happen (I think). You were behind me for a little bit, then changed to the rt turn lane and went home.
I keep wanting to put a sticker on my car that says, Pardon me, but I'm going the speed limit.
