On Paying Attention

I didn't.

     I should have looked on down the road and seen it coming. And in fact, in a way I did. But you know how it is.

    There had been a light metallic noise under the hood that shouldn't be there for a while.

    And now that I think about it, I was getting a strong message about this not being a very good time to drive that old car.

    But I did it anyhow, even though it felt like swimming through jello to get ready and go out there on the road, in a pretty good rainstorm too.

    Next time I will pay better attention when the Holy Spirit is trying to save me from something.

    However, I am grateful that it was more of a hassle and expense than anything really bad.
