A priest once offered a nun a ride to the convent after a long day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grateful for the lift, she accepted and got into the passenger seat. As they drove along the quiet road, she adjusted her position and crossed her legs, her robe shifting slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The priest, trying to keep his focus on the road, found himself momentarily distracted. He quickly corrected himself and continued driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A few minutes later, while reaching to adjust the gear, his hand drifted a little too close for comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The nun calmly turned to him and said,
\u201cFather\u2026 remember Psalm 129.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Startled, the priest immediately pulled his hand back and cleared his throat.
\u201cOf course, Sister. My apologies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They drove on in silence for a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But temptation got the better of him again. As he shifted gears, his hand wandered slightly once more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Without raising her voice, the nun repeated,
\u201cFather\u2026 remember Psalm 129.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This time, the priest straightened up completely, keeping both hands firmly on the wheel.
\u201cI\u2019m sorry, Sister,\u201d he said. \u201cThe spirit is willing, but sometimes\u2026 human nature gets in the way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The rest of the drive passed quietly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When they finally arrived at the convent, the nun stepped out, gave him a polite nod, and said,
\u201cGood evening, Father.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He watched her walk inside, then let out a long sigh of relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But curiosity began to nag at him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat exactly does<\/em> Psalm 129 say?\u201d he wondered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As soon as he returned to the church, he hurried inside, grabbed a Bible, and flipped through the pages until he found it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He read it carefully\u2026 then froze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGo forward, seek higher things\u2026 and you shall find glory.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The priest closed the book slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A small smile crept across his face as he shook his head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell,\u201d he muttered to himself, <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A priest once offered a nun a ride to the convent after a long day.
