Sunday and a Boeing 777

Well, our day has begun. Left early, early, early from Sny town--and the roads weren't bad until right out of LBB. Our org.flight was delayed until 9:15..but they went ahead and put us on the earlier flight that was delayed too--so we arrived ealier than we expected into Dallas.

We attended church at the Interfaith Chapel @ the Airport. We walked in and there were two bleary eyed individuals listening to the preacher go on, and on and on (like the energizer bunny) and we made 5, then 2 more came in and you could see the guy get more and more excited. He kept adding to his sermon to make everyone feel like they'd got their money's worth...and then he asked for the money's worth at the end --asking us to drop a small donation in the plate as we left. He did pray for the saftey of all travelers- (which he said he has a 100% success rate---like how would you measure that).

We then waited for a phone call from FBC. We were being interviewed during the service via phone using SKYPE. That call came about 11:00 and then we waited another 1:30 to get on board. Then.... the wait (almost 1:30 on the tarmac due to Winter Weather here in Chicago). But the pilot wasted no time getting us here--we arrived 20 minutes later than scheduled.

The air in the airport was charged because DA BEARS were playing today. Everyone was gathered around every TV that we could see. They won---go BEARS!

We had our last American meal @ Chili's for supper. No more meat for a week! It was good and I'm sure that I'll look fondly back upon it during the week ahead.

Our plane is set to leave in just under an hour and half. Long 14 hour flight and we'll arrive there @ 9:31 PM. So....pray for me, for endurance, for the right kind of sleep so I can sleep there, for opportunities ;looks like it will be a full flight.

I will have access to internet @ Hotel @ final destination. Will blog again on Tuesday afternoon or evening (Monday evening or early Tuesday morning for you statesiders!

Take care
