Okay, I know I am not really a control freak, but when I have a teen-ager behind the wheel learning how to drive whith other cars going about their business on the road, oblivious to the fact, then I just want to be the one in control! Not only do we now have a teen-age driver with a learner's permit--we have two!
Christian and Rebekah are both getting their time behind the wheel and getting up at 5 am to go to driver's ed. (One of the pleasures I get from this is that Bill has to get up and help get the kids to their class since one is in SF and the other in Salem.;) It is amazing that anyone can learn anything at that time of the morning. Just one more week of class and then they hit the road with the instructor.
They are both getting pretty good at driving. Rebekah even drove up to Temple Square this week. She didn't realize how tense she was until we were walking by the Conference Center and she said her jaw hurt. I drove home so she could relax and rest for her band concert that night.
I think that God has special guardian angels assigned to learning driver's to keep them from harm. It seems that the problems come after they get their license and are on their own.
I need to remind myself to be calm and let the angels watch over them.
