I’m traveling this week in the 4th-most dangerous country in the world for traffic fatalities, as tabulated by our good friends at the World Health Organization (Who???). (See their report at

The thing is, when you’re riding in it, you don’t really notice it being all that bad. (Is that something like saying, “Yes, but it’s a dry heat.”) I guess we don’t really notice it being that bad until a bus plows into the side of the SUV in which we’re riding, you know?
So I figured it’s worth asking… What’s YOUR greatest fear???? What haunting concern causes you to toss and turn sometimes at night. If you’re ashamed to admit that you’re anxious about it, comment anonymously. It’s easy! Just click “Comment” below. Thanks in advance for sharing the thing that causes you the most angst.

I question the statistics in the WHO document. For example, I believe the motor bike helmet usage and seat belt usage in my country is seriously inflated. I never see a taxi driver wear a seat belt, nor any of his passengers.
Regarding fears, I live in an earthquake zone and I fear for those who will lose their homes or even lives when the next big one happens.
Flying into Tegulcigapa, Honduras, is a nightmare. I really struggled with flying for several trips to other places after a bad experience there with wingtips nearly grazing the tops of palm trees as we spiraled into the canyon for a ‘normal’ landing. Give Taca Airlines pilots credit though. They know how to fly 727’s like go-karts!
Greatest fear… living a safe, comfortable life, missing God’s direction, hearing “If only you had…” instead of “Well, done, good and faithful servant”…
I agree with Christopher.
That my life will extend beyond my financial resources.
