So I get up this morning and can't find my car keys which I ALWAYS put in the same spot. My wife suggests I just use the spares so I can get to work. After much whining, I do so and am obsessed the whole ride to work with what happened to them. I retraced my steps over the weekend in my mind, etc. Then come the paranoid thoughts...they were stolen, my car will disappear this week whilst I sleep, someone's out to get me.
I get to work and there are some prayer requests in my email box for people who REALLY have problems, like are facing life-threatening illnesses or debilitating injuries. Kind of makes my issues seem small. So I resolve to pray for them instead. Literally, a few seconds later I remember that my youngest son had used the keys yesterday for something else and must have left them where he was working. Voilą, I call my wife and she finds them there.
What's going through my head now? How little faith I have and how I blow the little things out of proportion (the coward dies a thousand deaths...). The solution? Prayer, prayer, prayer. Going to my meditation group tonight, that should help too.
