Maybe I should delete the playlist....

Name: Chad

Scripture: Romans 13

OAP: I received an email alert today, the SJPD is going to be enforcing traffic laws at a "higher concentration" on certain intersections. Of the 18 listed, two should come at a great inconvenience to me, Almaden Branham, and Almaden Blossom Hill. I don't think I have ever claimed to be a good driver, for the simple reason that I drive fast. For reference my personal best from downtown San Jose (near the airport) to my house is 14 minutes at around three on a weekday. Toph used to be big on not speeding, and with him safely hidden away in some snowy wasteland I have been able to ignore it for the most part. But that blissful ignorance seems to be closing in on me. Last week I was reflecting on why I speed, for the past few weeks I literately have had no where to go. So this whole week I have been not speeding, or at least considerably reduced. It turns out that from North San Jose to South San Jose there isn't much headway you can make by speeding, essentially I am getting home no more than a few minutes later. Today when I drove home there were cops at both Branham and Blossom, I was going 50.
There is something freeing about resolving to go the limit, I can't be rushed, nor can I be weaving and tense, it doesn't matter because I couldn't go faster anyway. That being said, I have been almost late to school ever day this week. But what is important is that once I am in the car, it is calm, I don't worry because I am not going to change anything anyway.

Just a small thing that I am trusting God with that has shown some fruit.
