As we remember MLK, let us honor his desire for justice and do what we can to bring justice to our sphere… click here for last year’s post which has links to read and hear King’s words.

so yesterday we were sitting eating a late lunch in the Charlotte airport when we look up at the TV and see that a USAirways Airbus plane bound for Charlotte had “watered” on the Hudson river… yes, we were flying USAirways… what in the world… the ride was smooth though it was like being in a London to Budapest type plane for 5 1/2 hours… but I was with sweet Anna and has a brand new Atlantic magazine to read between naps… but they ran out of food! can you believe it? the guy in front really pitched a fit and the flight person pitched one back… holy cow…
so we land at SFO and rent the car and drive to Silicon Valley – that’s where we are – in San Jose… and yes, Laci this is gadget heaven… we drove by an Intel building on the way in… anyway…
this morning on TV we see footage of the aforementioned “watering” and it looked like the people we standing on the water… the wings were just barely submerged from the camera angle… but their support was unseen… beneath… they had got themselves out of the “boat…”
I know a lot of people who are heading for a new station on their journey… folks are thinking about getting out of the boat and getting in the deep water…
Jesus is there, below the surface, waiting to hold us up, when we believe Him and step out on faith in Him…

heading out to CA for the weekend to meet with awesome folks of like mind and heart for this needy, broken world… posting may stay on the back burner…

Last night when Sweet Anna and I both got home and realized that the house was cold. Our heating system had failed… I thought of my friends in Europe and the ongoing saga between Russia and Ukraine over the gas piplines and the thousands of people who had no heat. By morning the inside of the house was 57 f (about 5 c?). Our bedroom and downstairs sitting room were warm because of two electric space heaters that we keep on hand for such emergencies. Tonight the temp outside will be -7c so I called the repair man… wow, we are getting a new heating system! (and our wallet will be a lot lighter) But I am thankful that the heat is available (tomorrow night it will be -12 c)… I am glad to know that our hose will be warm again soon…. I pray for the people who are worried because they have no such assurance of a warm house… May the governments stop feuding and care for the people…
