I love it when a plan comes together, but this wasn't part of it. 

I was put on the table, and then all of these cords were attached to the
tabs on my chest. I was getting ready to go through that tunnel that 
was just behind me. 

"You're going to be all right, and we have everything under control.
Just relax, and maybe you even want to take a nap." 

Right. I want to nap when somebody has hooked me up to cords I'm not
sure what will happen. It's not that I don't trust doctors; I just 
don't trust doctors. 

For the next 45 minutes, I was going through this  machine, and I heard
noises, saw flashes of light, and heard someone on the outside say, 
"Just breathe normally, and you might even just want to take a nap." 

Then the stress test was over, and I could put on my shirt and T-shirt.
They said everything went through just fine, and the doctor would get 
to me sometime next week with the results. I was then ushered to the 
outside, where The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage was waiting to 
take me home, which was the last level of my stress test. 

As I walked out, a lot of people in the lobby area were waiting for
their doctor's appointments. As I walked out, everybody looked at me, 
which brought me to another level of stress. 

Feeling slightly dizzy, I looked back at them, then pointed both hands
to my face and said, "I've just had a facelift. How does it look." 

For some reason, all the air was sucked out of the lobby, and even a
couple laughed. Someone looked at my wife and said, "Is that your 
husband?" She smiled and ushered me out of the room to the waiting 
Sissy Van. 

Stress can be very stressful; at least, that's my experience. 

I couldn't help but think of a verse of Scripture. "Humble yourselves
therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due 
time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you" (1 Peter 
5:6-7). 

I can try to handle everything on my own, or I can cast all my care upon
the Lord. The choice is mine.
