There's no picture to go with this blog as I am currently sitting in the Atlanta airport, waiting for a connecting flight home. My day began today at 3:30 AM and will end somewhere around midnight thirty. Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining. Although I admit it has been a long day, it was well worth it. A very dear friend of ours in Montgomery passed away Saturday after a courageous battle with cancer. I had the Delta miles to get a "free" flight (you still have to pay a small fee), and it just seemed like the right thing to do. I jumped online Monday after we found out the funeral arragengements, and a miracle occurred.
The Lord worked it out where, not only did I get the flights I needed to make the "down and back" trip, but it only took the minimum number of miles to redeem to get the tickets. Dear friends picked me up at the airport, we squeezed in a visit to the hospital to a friend recovering from a motorcycle accident, they bought me lunch, we went to the funeral, and they deposited me back at the airport in plenty of time to catch the first leg of my flight home. What little "trouble" the day was, was inconsequential to being able to hug my buddy and tell him how sorry I was that his sweet wife was gone. She is completely healed now, standing whole in the presence of Christ our Savior. Up, up, and away...
