Taking Some One Else's Place

I repeatedly see able-bodied persons whom I suspect are using a disabled persons placard on their automobile's rear view mirror so they can park in a parking spot reserved for a physically disabled person.  They must not have read the notice on the card: "Misuse of this placard is a Class B misdemeanor."  The use of the card by an able-bodied person, even if another member of their family is disabled, is considered to be illegal.

I would hope that none of the persons misusing these placards call themselves Christians, but some probably do.  Perhaps they do not realize that they are lying and that by taking an undeserved parking place they are denying that place to a deserving disabled person.  If they have children in the car with them, they are teaching those children that these actions are acceptable.   

I am sure that many persons would consider this to be just a "little white lie."There are no "little white lies.
