Yes! I am home

Well, everything was going well Wednesday evening until I realized, standing at the American Airlines ticket counter in Dulles, I had bought a round-trip ticket for Reagan airport in downtown D.C. So Jennifer and I raced the clock. Standing at the correct counter in Reagan, I was there about 25 minutes before the plane was scheduled to take off. I gave my drivers license to a lady, who came back fifteen minutes later with a ticket. She handed it to me, told me to ride the elevator down to the bottom floor, go to gate 30, and run! So, I ran to my gate and was the very last person to walk on the plane. I walked up to my seat and told my crazy story to the woman sitting next to me. "You're lucky," she said. "No, I'm blessed," I answered as I watched the Capitol building fade into the distance as the plane took off.

This all took place with the grace of God, because another man who was five minutes later than I did not get on that plane. I have to thank all my wonderful friends who were back in the D3 lobby praying for me. When I called Jeremiah to tell him I had made it, they all sang a song of praise to God. It was great. I was thinking, "I have great friends." So thanks. Your prayers worked!

It's beautiful here at home. It's around 80 or so degrees and sunny. It's great to be home with my family. I missed them a lot. Easter is coming! It's that time of year when we get to celebrate the central message of our faith - Christ's death and resurrection. I'm so glad I get to spend it here with my family.
