Billy Graham was returning to Charlotte after a speaking engagement.
When his plane
arrived there was a limousine there to transport him to his home in
Montreat.
As he prepared to get into the limo, he stopped and spoke to the driver.
"You know" he said, "I am 87 years old and I have never driven a
limousine. Would
you mind if I drove it for a while?"
The driver said, "No problem. Have at it."
"Billy gets into the driver's seat and they head off down the highway.
A short distance away sat a rookie State Trooper operating his first
speed trap.
The long black limo went by him doing 70 in a 55 mph zone.
The trooper pulled out and easily caught the limo and got out of his
patrol car to
begin the procedure.
The young trooper walked up to the driver's door and when the glass was
rolled down
he was surprised to see who was driving.
He immediately excused himself and went back to his car and called his
supervisor.
He told the supervisor, "I know we are supposed to enforce the law but I
also know
that important people are sometimes given certain courtesies.
I need to know what I should do because I have stopped a very important
person."
"The supervisor asked, "Is it the governor?"
The young trooper said, "No, he's more important than that."
The supervisor said, "Oh, so it's the president."
The young trooper said, "Not, he's even more important than that."
The supervisor finally asked, "Well then, who is it?"
The young trooper said, "I think it's Jesus because he's got Billy
Graham
for a chauffeur !!!!!
