In two days I leave for the far east. I will be checking out a couple of ministries. One rescues children from brothels. I am looking forward to the time to think. Forty hours in the air total. Wow!! A work week sitting in coach and thinking. The good news is I will be 35,000 feet closer to God. This morning I was thinking about the incommunicable attributes of God. The ones he doesn't share with us. The fact that he is completely independant. I am so dependant. If I don't eat for a couple of hours I begin to get hungry. A reminder of my fragility. God is not fragile. That is a good thing. I want to remember while I am hurtling around the globe that God is the same, feels the same about me, and in reality is no closer or farther away. I like that about God. I like that He is so big, that He doesn't need me or you or anything. He is free. He connects to us as an act of his will. He binds himself to us in love, through promise. That is some of what I will be thinking about as I sit and wait to arrive on the other side of this blue ball.

Thank-you for taking the time to fill out your blog. Admittedly I do not read it often, but when I do it is a great way for me to step outside my day to day and connect with god. BTW, I also appreciate the way that you use humor and current life reality to express your message in your service. It really makes a difference.
Safe travels!! We are all lifting you up closer than 35,000 feet in your mission trip!!!!
