I did it. Again. I actually prayed that God would humble me. The first time I did it, I went skiing the next week and hit my head. It took me two years to fully recover. The second time, something else rather tragic happened, although I can not fully recall the scenario. I'm positive I prayed it a third time at another point, and again, something distinctly large and rather disastrous ensued, although again, I must confess my memory remains foggy.

Tuesday or Wednesday. I can't remember which. I prayed it again.

"God, please humble me."

Today on my way to church, it began to rain. Hard. Now to properly set up the situation, you must understand that since Friday, nothing has been working just right in my life. Nothing exceedingly large, just a mountain of small-scale "mishaps". All at once. And for the past two weeks, I also have not been getting much sleep or finding time to relax or have spontaneous fun, and last night was especially frustrating, inasmuch as I thought I was going to finally get decent sleep, but when I awoke I felt anything but refreshed (am I the only one who is unable to sleep more than 5 hours without waking up to use the restroom?).

Ok, now it will make a bit more logical sense to you when I say that I was in a sour mood this morning. So anyway, I'm driving in the rain and I'm only two blocks from my church. Now I have a rather interesting mind at times, and seeing as I did not want to walk into church feeling heavy, I decided to play a little game with myself to "lighten the mood." That's right, I decided to play, "let's see how well I drive without using my windshield wipers." TRUE STORY.

Can you say 'stupid'? Ok, for the record, I've played this game almost every time it's rained, but this morning, considering my sour mood, I continued to drive without my wipers even when I could not properly see whether I was in my lane, and I also sped up until I was traveling the speed limit exactly - 45 mph.

Wanna take a stab at what happened next?
