I'm unsure which gadget I pressed, but the sound went through the roof,
scaring me so much that I almost jumped out of the vehicle. Fiddling 
around, I finally lowered the sound. 

I did not notice before, but the steering wheel had gadgets all around
it. I had no idea what any of those gadgets were for and was trying 
desperately not to touch one. 

I had to make a right turn, and so I turned on the turn signal the way I
usually do it in my truck, and it wasn't heaven that came through that 
van. 

The windshield wipers began, the windows went up and down several times,
the horn sounded three or four times, and I was a mess. 

Very carefully, I managed to pull to the side and stop the vehicle. I
sat there trying to figure out where do I start turning off all of 
these gadgets? 

I could call my wife, but then I would hear it for the rest of my life. 

An idea floated in my mind amid all this confusion. Why not turn the
vehicle off, and maybe all the gadgets would close down. 

I turned it on with my fingers crossed, and to my delight, all of the
gadgets were not on. I'm not sure what I did; I hope I don't have to do 
it again. 

A verse of Scripture came to my mind as I was driving home. "The fear of
the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and 
instruction" (Proverbs 1:7). 

Instruction seems to be the gateway to wisdom. I have a hard time with
following instructions, which is why I have trouble and not just with 
gadgets.
