Did We Ask For This?

I'm sure you've heard about the controversy and recalls taking place with Toyota cars where the accelerator sticks causing horrible accidents and panic. When I first heard about this I thought, "That's awful, but if it happened to me I would just throw the car into neutral!" Maybe you can't think that practically when your car is racing away with you.
Today it occurred to me that this is the very thing that happens in life some times. The accelerator gets stuck and life goes racing away with you. So many of us find ourselves in a panic, not knowing what to do! The answers seems so obvious to those who aren't in the same vehicle we find ourselves in. Today, maybe it's time to throw things in neutral. Pull off to the side of the road long enough to let God fix what's gone wrong. If we don't then there's a very good chance we're gonna crash and burn and we won't be able to blame it on anyone but ourselves. After all, like Toyota's original slogan said - "You asked for it, you got it."

  4. I had an accelerator get stuck getting onto I-10 once. I kept pressing on the screeching brakes with my left foot until I got it unstuck with my right. Had to switch lanes as I came up on cars. Very scary!!!! Never thought about putting the car in neutral.
