Billy Graham and the limo

Billy Graham was returning to Charlotte after a speaking engagement and
when his plane arrived there was a limousine there to transport him to
his home.

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 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, "No, 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 chauffer!"

I told the above story to my Mom today and at first I was so afraid that
she wouldn't get it. And I did have to slow down and repeat a few things
more than once;but I was so glad when I saw she did get it and that she
laughed! :-)

The sad part to me is that over the last few months or year or
whatever,I've had to learn that it's no use to try and tell Mom
somethings that are just too complicated for her;but it's still good to
know that she can enjoy and laugh at somethings like this story I told
her. :-) So I certainly plan on keeping on enjoying such as this with
her,just as long as she can get enjoyment out of such.

I noticed with my Mom that even after she lost most of her
ability to follow conversations and jokes, she was still affected
by the mood of the people around her.  In a family gathering
where people had fun and were laughing, she would laugh and
have a good time too.  I think she caught the mood and
participated in it.
