Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought
From Steve Chalke, minister, speaker and social entrepreneur:
Last Saturday I decided to it was time to clean out my car. Why? Well鈥 It was back just before lockdown. I had an early morning meeting 鈥 for which I set out, in my newish car, in plenty of time. All was well. Then it rained 鈥 in sheets. I could hardly see where I was going. That鈥檚 when it happened. I hit a pothole. I had a flat tyre. I pulled over. I looked at my watch. I had to be at my destination in 45 minutes. I got out. I ran to the boot. I searched for the spare. It wasn鈥檛 there. WHAT A JOKE! I was drenched. I rang emergency breakdown. I GOT A MACHINE. ALL I WANTED WAS A HUMAN VOICE. But, when I did, I got a never-ending series of irrelevant questions鈥ating up precious time. 鈥楢LL I WANT TO KNOW IS, WHERE IS MY SPARE TYRE鈥, I shouted. 鈥淵ou don鈥檛 have one鈥, the voice at the other end of the phone replied, calmly. 鈥淵ou have a puncture repair kit instead鈥hey鈥檙e easier and quicker than replacing a wheel鈥. A PUNCTURE REPAIR KIT!听
鈥淯gh!!!鈥. I striped the boot. I was frantic. Eventually I found it; a bottle that said 鈥榮ealant鈥 with a hose that looked like it might fit onto the valve of my flat tyre. I did it. I squeezed it. I shook it. IT DIDN鈥橳 WORK. So, I drove on my flat tyre to the next garage, by which time I鈥檇 also ruined my wheel. From there I hitchhiked and reached my meeting, with moments to spare, soaked to the skin. Last Saturday, sorting out my boot, I came across a small electric pump right next to where I鈥檇 found the bottle that never worked. On it were some instructions: 鈥楾o inflate tyre, attach to sealant bottle, plug into car cigarette lighter socket, turn on your engine and inflate tyre.鈥 Ugh!!! 鈥淭he truth will set you free鈥, once promised Jesus. What he didn鈥檛 say, however, is facing the truth about myself would be easy.听
Though it鈥檚 rather hard to admit it, I鈥檓 still learning that the more anxious I am, the more stupid I become. My thinking brain tends to lose control, and my emotional brain leaves me behaving irrationally. Or, to end with a driving metaphor, when I鈥檓 stressed or angry, I behave a little like a fast car with very poor brakes.
