Road Rage

Tonight I discovered a whole new meaning to road rage. A word to those of you who may be prone to it......don't drive when you're mad. I made the poor choice of doing just that tonight and I don't plan on doing it again. Now reflecting, I don't understand why ANYONE would leave after an arguement and drive away. (Not that this was my case.) But have you ever noticed the movie scenes where the friends or the guy and girl argue and then one leaves with the car? I have to conclude after much thinking that you only get madder as you drive because you have more time to think about the arguement (or why you're mad) and you have less energy to drive properly. You spend all your time thinking, contemplating different outcomes of your situation, etc. that you lose proper alertness to drive.

Tonight I found it really hard to control the wheel and my thoughts at the same time. It was by the grace of God that I did not get into an accident. I wished I had been able to pull over and just think, but my situation did not permit to stop so I slowed down a bit and tried turning on some worship music, but that just distracted me more. I resorted to quietly praying in tongues and thought that if I had tried that before I started driving, I just might have avoided so much frustration! And I realized that I need 'just a little more' of His grace everyday for every situation; road rage included!
