After a hug to the son-in-love and a tearful goodbye to my darlings and my “baby girl” (she’ll be 30 in 12 days), I became one of the shuffling multitude in a HUGE line to get through the security check at an airport that has, at most, 12 gates. I had arrived the requested/required 75 minutes before flight time but as I approached my assigned gate my plane pulled in. 30 minutes later we were boarding. This flight I was seated second row from the back, not something I wish to repeat. The door was closed and we were pushed away from the gate at the precise time we were supposed to be. We taxied out to the runway and then… we stopped. Then the voice of the unseen captain came over the speaker telling us we would be sitting there for at least another 5 minutes due to a wind sheer alarm on the runway. Would much rather sit there than encounter the deadly effects of wind sheer. During this 5 minute wait the wind shifted and we had to go to the other end of the runway to take off. We swiftly arrived at the appropriate spot ready to take off, began to turn the plane into the runway, and he suddenly powered the aircraft down. Again the invisible voice is heard, this time telling us we will be sitting where we are for the next 30 minutes as there is a ground stop situation in Detroit. The seat belt sign was turned off and we were able to use our cell phones. I phoned my honey-man and told him we would be later than advertized arriving. As I was talking the voice announced that we were being cleared to take off and to turn off the phones. Sign on, phones off, aircraft turned unto the runway and away we go. A few “bumps” were encountered on the way up but nothing bothersome. 10 minutes into the flight, however, the bumps were another story. Again the prayers of my friends and family and Ps 56:3, “What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.” calmed and relaxed me. We encountered a few more bumpy spots but they were mild. We were wheels down at exactly the time the airline advertized we would be, even with all the delays.

Read 1 Samuel 14:6-15
6  And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that the LORD will work for us: for there is no restraint to the LORD to save by many or by few.
7  And his armourbearer said unto him, Do all that is in thine heart: turn thee; behold, I am with thee according to thy heart.
8  Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over unto these men, and we will discover ourselves unto them.
9  If they say thus unto us, Tarry until we come to you; then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up unto them.
10  But if they say thus, Come up unto us; then we will go up: for the LORD hath delivered them into our hand: and this shall be a sign unto us.
11  And both of them discovered themselves unto the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of the holes where they had hid themselves.
12  And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armourbearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will shew you a thing. And Jonathan said unto his armourbearer, Come up after me: for the LORD hath delivered them into the hand of Israel.
13  And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his feet, and his armourbearer after him: and they fell before Jonathan; and his armourbearer slew after him.
14  And that first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armourbearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were an half acre of land, which a yoke of oxen might plow.
15  And there was trembling in the host, in the field, and among all the people: the garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled, and the earth quaked: so it was a very great trembling.
