Lagos, Nigeria, 1984 – His new odd-number Volkswagen Beetle had the sticker he got on his trip to Indonesia on the windscreen. It was a time odd and even-number cars were only allowed to ply the roads on alternate days. Since it was a day his car was not supposed to be on the road, the law enforcement officer stopped him for the breach. He in turn directed the officer?s attention to the sticker, and was allowed to proceed. The inscription on the sticker was: ?Pt Pupuk Srivadaja?, translated ?Srivadaja Fertilizer Company Limited !?

?And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent.? ? Acts 17: 30 (KJV)

Ignorance is no excuse.
Let the Son shine in your heart daily.
