Officer We Were Praying. I Swear

A couple of summers ago I was sponsoring a couple of guys and we were all together in one car coming home from a meeting. It was a big black, late model Mercedes (One of them was pretty wealthy)

One fellos had completes Steps One and Two that week ans as we were dropping him off in a parking lot across from his house we decided he would take the Third Step then and there.

So we both got out of the car and went behind a parked van and got on our knees together in the shadows.

As the Big book says to do, we said the Third Step Paryer. Just as we were finished, we heard some angry shouting out an upstairs window across the street. Apparently the owner of the van didnot appreciate two guys on their knees behind his van. Our legs were visable to the guy form his window and he must have thought we were stealing his wheels or hubcaps of sumething.

My friend ran off to his own apt and Joe (Mercedes) and I sped off leaving the grumpy guy still shouting and yelling out of his window. The last I heard from our shouting friend, he had called the police and had our license plate number – would kill us, ect

We laugher so hard on the way home, I thought our sides would explode. What would we say to the police if they pulled us over? “Office, we were praying behind that van at midnight, in the dark.”

Peace,
