Protected during a cross-country road trip
After spending the summer in Florida, I was making an all-day cross-country drive back to St. Louis by myself. On the road before the sun was up, I was initially apprehensive about completing such a long drive in one day.
To address the anxiety I was feeling, I started the first leg of my trip listening to that week’s Bible Lesson from the Christian Science Quarterly and some hymns from the Christian Science Hymnal. I began to feel much more peaceful and prepared for my day on the road.
A few hours later, I suddenly noticed large pieces of rubber flying off my front tire. In the few seconds before my tire completely blew out, I intuitively found myself able to switch lanes, steer toward the median, and safely bring my car to a stop.
