You may be wondering what the title is supposed to imply...so let me tell you. Those of us driving to Minot to catch our flight to Phoenix left at 7:15 this morning in order to be at the airport in time to grab some lunch and go through security on time to make our 12:10 flight. We got there on time with plenty to spare, but 12:10 came and went without our plane coming in. It was finally announced that our flight had not left Phoenix yet! So we waited and waited and finally our plane came in at around 3:00. After loading everyone on, they informed us (after another 20 minutes of waiting) that they had to boost the plane. I understood it to be like boosting a car with a dead battery, as long as you don't shut it off it is fine!) This is what had originally caused the delay back in Phoenix to begin with. Finally they got it started, taxied down the lane, and took off at 4:25! only 4 hours after the scheduled flight time. Needless to say, God taught us patience today!
The flight to Phoenix was great, with pretty much no turbulence, and even thought we couldn't all sit together, still had a great time. We are now in Tucson, Arizona for night and planning to leave at 8:00 sharp tomorrow morning. Continue to pray for protection while driving and ease of passage through the border.
God bless!
