Recouperation TV and how do I fair?

After having had knee surgery I get to sit watching TV alot!.  So I ended up watching a show I don't normally watch though I've seen my share of similar things.  The show is Parking Wars.  These hardworking people's jobs vary from giving parking tickets for illegally handicap parking or blocking a street to the point the city bus system can't turn around the corner!  Some have to put boots on cars for unpaid parking tickets and if its bad enough, they will have you towed for over $1000 in unpaid tickets! HOLY MOLEY!  Some meet you at the impound lot and they require you to have your insurance paid, identification, and up to date registration. You must also pay all your debts against you name just not the current vehicle before they give you your car back.  For all the hours I sat and watched this, I learned some things about people and even more important who should I be?
You see, only one person in the entire time I watched even acknowledged responsibility for her actions.  She said, yep I parked there and I am responsible. God bless the officer as he was only doing his job.  I thank the Lord I have enough money to pay for this too.  Don't you just love that?  You see, the rest either blamed others, denied the tickets they owed, called names, got violent, cursed or attacked the character of the person doing their job.  Not a one of them could say, I parked there, I ignored my tickets, I am a liar.

 Amos 5:10 There are those who hate the one who upholds justice in court and detest the one who tells the truth.
How true for those poor employees doing their jobs.  I am now even more motivated to let my yes be yes, to pay my bills on time, and be cautious to not blame others for my actions.  The many people who chose to not do the right thing on this TV show are a better reflection of how we are as people.  I know I am full of mistakes.  Please Lord, show me the error of my ways, teach me to live with honor, and to speak with truth
and walk in responsibility for the laws of the land and those over me you have called me to be obedient to.  Help me to not gossip or give my wrath to others who most certainly do not deserve that of me.  Recouperation TV is great!!!
