Caught In The Act

 

My Story #60

CAUGHT IN THE ACT

Pastor Ronnie Wolfe

So, it's time to mow the yard, which I used to do for a few years until I got too old to do it.

I would usually get on the small riding mower and leave my crutches in the garage so I could drive the mower into the garage and get the crutches when I was finished mowing.

One day, while mowing the front yard, the mower ran out of gas, and there I was down in the middle of the yard away from my crutches, so I could not walk with my crutches to the garage to get more gas.

So, I watched to see that no one was traveling down the road, and I got off the mower and began to crawl to the garage to get my crutches. I noticed a car coming down the road, so I just stopped and sat while the car went by. After the car passed, I felt sure that no one was watching, so I crawled the rest of the way to the garage, got the gas, put the gas in the mower, and then I tied my crutches to the mower so this would not happen again. It would have been SO embarrassing if someone had seen me crawling up the hill to the garage. Whew! Got by with that one.

Some time later, I stopped in to my neighbor's house, because they were having a yard sale. I went to the back of the house and sat with the man to talk a while. I was telling him about the experience, and you will never guess what he said. He said, "Yeah, I know. I was sitting right here watching everything that happened. You can't keep any secrets from me.

. . . be sure your sin will find you out (Numbers 32:23).
