be wasting his time when there are more serious issues for him to deal 
with. But, crazy will be crazy. 

He talked to us and took our information, and then he looked toward her
car. He didn't go over and look at it because he said it is not worth a 
police investigation. I agreed with him. So did the manager of 
McDonald's. A scratch isn't really that much damage. It probably could 
be fixed with fingernail polish. 

The manager said that there were cameras and that incident would have
been recorded. 

She finally drove off, and I had a short chat with the police officer,
and then we parted ways. 

That was not the end of the story. 

Have you ever faced a temptation so strong that it was all you could do
not to yield to it? 

One of my favorite hymns has this phrase, “Yield not to temptation for
yielding is sin.” 

I wasn't able to place my order before this incident, so I drove around
McDonald's to get into the drive-through. You will not guess who was in 
front of me in the left lane of that drive-through? 

Oh yeah, it was the lady with the scratch on her car. 

My temptation was to pull in behind her and make sure she noticed I was
behind her. I wrestled with that thought for a moment or two. 

After some thoughtful consideration, I pulled over to the right lane
and, in fact, got ahead of her in ordering my coffee. In the McDonald's 
store, that was the talk of the employees. 

It's not often that I get involved in such a crazy situation. 

As I was driving away from McDonald's a verse of Scripture came to my
mind. “Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit 
truly is ready, but the flesh is weak” (Mark 14:38). 

Temptations will come every day, but I have the strength in Christ to
resist every temptation for the glory of God.
