First, I love the questions you guys are asking on the “Have you ever though about that?” post. Great minds think alike, right?!!
Second, I want to thank each of you for the very encouraging and supportive comments on this blog. It is obvious that God is preparing Trinity Chapel for something special in the near and distant future. To each individual who has hung in there over the past few months, Sarah and I cannot express to you how excited we are to pursue God’s will with you. We are forever grateful for your commitment to Trinity Chapel and, most all, to the kingdom of God. It is an honor to serve our Lord with each of you!
(I will definitely read every reply to this post; yet, I am going to keep the comments to this specific post private. Thanks again!)
I had the opportunity to go to a couple of college basketball games at the Georgia Dome the past few days for the ACC Tournament. Most of the fans there have tickets to the entire tournament—all 11 games, and many of the fans that traveled to see their team play have already watched their team be eliminated from the tournament. As they continue to attend the games, it is interesting to see—since their favorite team is not still playing—whether they choose to root for another team playing or against another team. Isn’t it ironic how often we choose to root against a team instead of rooting for the other team. It’s just more fun that way, isn’t it?!!
Many individuals who are not believers state that they are opposed to Christianity because most Christians are known for what they are against instead of what they are for. Wow! Quite a scathing perception considering how much we (Christians) have to be for—not against. Do we spend our energy focused on things we are for, or on things we are against—things we believe in or things we oppose?
I’m sure each one of us has those questions that we want to ask God when we get to heaven. Some come from the bottom of the heart, are serious, and of great eternal value—yet on the other hand, some, well, umm, aren’t…like this one below!
Sarah and I were sitting on a plane recently and the pilot informed us that the flight was being delayed due to the fact that the plane needed to be de-iced. So, I did what any intelligent person would have done…I prayed. And then I began to think about the angels that were with us, which led to my question to which I know some of you will have a deeply profound answer (It’s not the answers that are important in conversations like these, it’s the questions—so play along, ok?!). Here’s the question I had: Do the angels flying with us have to be inside the plane to keep up with us, or can they fly as fast as a plane? You know, as a human, if you are on the inside of the plane you just sit back and relax; you are just along for the ride traveling about 400-450 m.p.h. But, if you are on the outside of the plane you would be left behind at break-neck speed. But what about the angels? Can they keep up the speed if they are outside the plane, or do they have to be inside with us? Just a thought!
Come on, I know some of you have an interestingly non-important question like mine—and it doesn’t have to be about angels. If you do, I’d like to hear it. I didn’t say I can answer it, but I’d like to hear it!!
It was great to be together with everyone today, and I look forward to staying together—at least for a while 
I hope and pray everyone made it home safely today. Have fun in the snow…or slush…or whatever it is! Nevertheless, it is beautiful. Enjoy the day!
