I got off of work at about 11:30. I ran over late on registers and doing go-backs with items people didn't want to put back themselves. Who could blame them...the place is huge... But, after I got off, I didn't want to come straight home. I went to the beach, and sat on a bench and watched the stars and played guitar. I only play to please God. Who is the only one that can hear me when I play exceptionally well. So I please Him rather than anyone... So there I sat alone, and two young men came out of the shadows, got into their car, and left. Then, two police cars came and looked at my car. I got up and told them who I was and they asked for my ID. I was very polite. They said not many people sit in the dark and play guitar, and they were only after people doing something shady. The park closed at 11PM, but I was out there at about 12PM. They let me off without a ticket or anything, I suppose because they could find nothing wrong with me. They sure did laugh at my driver's license picture, though. I could have been stashing drugs in my guitar or something, but I wasn't. So... I pointed out to one officer Orion's band. I told them that I just learned recognize it the other day. Pointed out Betelgeuse and Rigel. Thought it was interesting. The other officer knew where Orion was. Then a third officer came. But my record went through clean, so they let me go. Washed clean in Jesus Christ's blood. :-) The world can't find anything wrong with me if I've given up sin. No cocaine under my seat. No cigarettes or cigars on me. No shady business. Just playing guitar to please my heavenly Father. Thank the Lord I didn't get a ticket. I can't afford another one right about now.
