Fly High
These are some of my thoughts from my travels last weekend...
I love flying! What is it about flying that is so exhilarating for me? The hustle and bustle of getting to the airport only to "hurry up and wait?" Moving through the air hundreds of miles above ground without a "safety net" is not at all comforting. Yet, there is something about flying that intrigues me. Maybe it is the fact that I am moving through the air hundreds, thousands, of miles above anything "secure."
Flying brings a sense of freedom for me. I feel so incredibly liberated when I fly! At the same time it seems odd that I should feel this way. I mean let's face it, I have no control over my life when flying. My life is in the hands of two men. I can't go anywhere. They tell me when I can stand up, when I can go to the bathroom, and they even monitor my entertainment.
So, what is it really that causes me to feel so free?

I love the airport. I love the sense of adventure that is there. There are people coming from all over the place there and people leaving for all over places. It's like a gateway to the rest of the world- well, it is a gateway to the rest of the world. But somehow it feels like a magic door to me... It seems crazy I know, but the airport just has so much going on there, I love it. I don't love getting stuck there or have to run to my gate, or wait in security FOREVER, but I do love the airport buzz. I guess it's a good thing that it's just down the street from here.

Dear Precious Pumpkin,
Did you forget that your life is still under the control of the ONE man that has your every move under control at every moment of every day. HE is in control of that airplane and HIS control is very liberating-----Just a diifferent way of looking at it and we both know that I learned that way back in your 5th grade year of school--OM. That brings back scary memories yet very happy ones. Continue to remember that JESUS is TRUSTWORTHY for TODAY and for all of ETERNITY. With HIM you can always be liberated. I love you, dear AllisonGail.
