So, I was awake at 3am, trying hard not to think about hurtling through the air in a tiny metal tube. I love getting places, but for me flying is strictly a means to an end. My nervousness about it has increased as I've got older!
After tossing and turning for the next 3 hours, I finally decided to get up and do my bible reading. This year I'm trying to read the whole bible in a year and so one of today's readings was Matthew 10:29-31 where Jesus says
"Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid, you are worth more than many sparrows.'
So comforting! To know that not a single sparrow (or plane) falls to the ground apart from the will of my heavenly Father. Thanks, God.

Hey Mike, I thought I would catch up on your adventure...don't you just love a bible reading that is like it was written personally for you, for that specific moment in time!!!
