All morning I’d been stewing over a friend’s bad business move, one that affected me too. Should I confront him? At this point I never wanted to speak to him again. How could a smart guy do something so dumb? <\/em>I thought. Finally I prayed, God, I need your guidance. Show me how to handle this.<\/em><\/p>\n

“Don’t forget you promised to fix my car,” my wife called from the kitchen.<\/p>\n

“I’ll do it today,” I said. Maybe the long, messy job of replacing her fuel pump would take my mind off this problem. I went to the garage and grabbed what I needed: red five-gallon gas can, plastic siphon, work light… I’d need to pick up a special wrench at the auto supply store.<\/p>\n

I checked the fuel gauge and estimated the amount left in the tank. It would have to be drained. I guessed five gallons. This will take forever, <\/em>I thought, as the siphon slowly dripped gas into the can.<\/p>\n

I waited, angry thoughts about my friend filling my head. I’ll run to the auto supply store and be back long before it’s finished.<\/em><\/p>\n

I found the wrench easily at the store. Standing in the checkout line I started thinking again. Only this time it was about my own decision.<\/p>\n

The gas was flowing slowly when I left, but what if it sped up? What if there were more than five gallons of gas in the tank? It could be spilling onto the floor right now.<\/p>\n

Suddenly I envisioned all the potential fire hazards in the garage: the furnace that could light at any time, the hot work light lying on the floor; even the garage-door opener could send out a spark if my wife turned it on. I’d made a terrible mistake!<\/p>\n

I tossed the wrench onto the counter and rushed out to my car. Back home I found the can overflowing and a 10-foot puddle of gasoline spreading across the concrete. Luckily I was able to sweep it out of the garage. I didn’t rest until it was all cleaned up.<\/p>\n

How could I have done something so stupid? <\/em>I thought.<\/p>\n

Now I knew how to deal with my friend: with understanding. Everyone makes dumb decisions sometimes. Even “smart guys” like me.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
