We actually went to the airport three times in one day thinking our plane would really taxi down the runway and fly away.\r\n\r\nOur adventure began at 5:30 a.m. when we left home the first time.  Airline officials said, \"Your plane had a bird strike and is being repaired.  This plane won't leave till 4 p.m.\"  So we went home.  \r\n\r\nLater we showed up at the airport ready to go at 4 p.m.  But the plane was not fixed.  They said, \"come back later ready to leave at 1 a.m.\"  \r\n\r\nWhat, 1 a.m.?  You mean 1 a.m. in the morning?  So now we had another delay of 9 more hours.  \r\n\r\nThankfully, our son Brantley called us and asked us to come to his home for dinner. What a life saver!!  It was so much fun being with our Brantley family and we also used up a few more hours waiting and waiting.  \r\n\r\nBack to the airport the third time, we waited 2 1\u002F2 more hours for the 1 a.m flight.\r\nThis time it left on schedule.\r\n\r\nSomehow that vacation reminds me of our endurance flight half way around the world to Ukraine.  \r\n\r\nOn a mission trip we always prepare for the unknown, the unexpected, and the undercover problems---but not on vacation.\r\n\r\nThat night we were being stretched beyond flexible to some new spiritual lesson, I guess.  \r\n\r\nWhat is really amazing about this entire experience is that before we left I had just preached my point # 5 on PRACTICE PATIENCE AND WAIT. \r\n\r\nGod was turning the sermon around and now showing me what it means to wait.\r\n\r\nLet's see, from start to finish the \"patient and waiting time\" amounted to 16 1\u002F2 hours.  \r\n\r\nI can be patient but---that was just plain crazy! \r\n\r\nI think I will wait a few years before preaching on \"Patience\" again.\r\n\r\nDo you know what I mean?",{"metadata":279,"sys":282,"fields":291},{"tags":280,"concepts":281},[],[],{"space":283,"id":285,"type":15,"createdAt":286,"updatedAt":286,"environment":287,"publishedVersion":66,"revision":66,"contentType":289,"locale":28},{"sys":284},{"type":11,"linkType":12,"id":13},"FuoTc54jsW6q4ME2CSqMo","2018-05-10T22:17:59.106Z",{"sys":288},{"id":20,"type":11,"linkType":21},{"sys":290},{"type":11,"linkType":26,"id":200},{"title":292,"path":293,"date":294,"body":295},"New Road","121-new-road","2009-12-29T00:00","Face Your Fear-Take a New Road This Year.\r\n\r\nAt the beginning of each year I seem to ask myself the  same question.\r\n\r\n\"I wonder what will happen this new year?\"\r\n\r\nAs I look back on 2009 many things did happen.\r\n\r\nMy sister-in-law after being sick all year long went home to heaven on Nov.13th.

In fact they were living out of an ice chest(you know,milk and baby bottles and other things needing special treatment).\r\n\r\nSo we made the need known at church. More than one person responded \"let me know if you need money\"\r\n\r\nThat afternoon I checked the local \"want ads\" for the needed item. Sure enough there were several listed.\r\n\r\nI randomly picked one and the owner happened to be a former faithful to Cornerstone when we were at the warehouse.  Can you imagine that?\r\n\r\nThe  refrigerator was listed at $300. but she gave it away at no charge.  Yes, no charge!\r\n\r\nLater that week our faithful members with pickup truck and \"dolly\", easily did the rest.\r\n\r\nWOW, God even loves to give away very beautiful and expensive refrigerators.\r\n\r\nWhat is your need today?",{"metadata":351,"sys":354,"fields":363},{"tags":352,"concepts":353},[],[],{"space":355,"id":357,"type":15,"createdAt":358,"updatedAt":358,"environment":359,"publishedVersion":66,"revision":66,"contentType":361,"locale":28},{"sys":356},{"type":11,"linkType":12,"id":13},"4KJ4P9HuRGsW2cSsUKgE6O","2018-05-10T22:35:30.863Z",{"sys":360},{"id":20,"type":11,"linkType":21},{"sys":362},{"type":11,"linkType":26,"id":200},{"title":364,"path":365,"date":366,"body":367},"Jury Duty Postponed","117-jury-duty-postponed","2009-10-30T00:00","I got a reprieve.
