Greetings Dear Reader,
I mentioned my friend Adam last week. One of our discussions involved check-engine
lights. I will tell my part of the story
but I will also invite Adam to guest post in a Second Thought about his. He is an excellent writer and would find his
way to speaking truth well given the platform.
My check engine light came on last Autumn. There was a serious need. I had it repaired and it was expensive. Just after that, it came on again. The need was not as serious and my service personnel
explained that it could wait. It still
bothers me but I was waiting until I had put enough money in my car fund to have
it addressed.
On my recent trip, the problem cleared itself (I was told
this was a possibility) and I could feel the weight of the light being on when
I noticed it was out. My friend Adam was
with me, telling me his check-engine light story when it happened. This is what made me want him to share
it.
It also got me thinking about how there are metaphorical
check-engine lights in our lives. We get
warnings that things are not right but sometimes we ignore them. Sometimes the warning is steady and sometimes
it is blinking. Either way, we must pay
attention.
I do want to use the metaphor of the check-engine light to
look at the ways in which I need a warning to function as I should. The way in which my car works is that if the check engine light is on steady, there is a problem that needs attention
soon. If it is blinking, then the need
is urgent.
Please walk with me, Dear Reader as we use the manual to
find out what to do about our check-engine lights and the indications they
announce. Perhaps we can find a better
way to service our lives so things stay on the road. I will always value your interactions with
this. Every journey is better with your
company.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn
