Chapter 11

Last Friday, the students of Cedarville University dedicated a chapel program to helping orphans in Africa. They want to build a house for a group through the WorldHelp ministry. They took up an offering among themselves and with what they had given before they were able to raise over $40,000.  Knowing what all the students do in the surrounding area, I am amazed at how they keep giving when they sense God moving them. I heard someone say, “Don’t give till it hurts; give till it’s gone.”

This week I go to Colorado for an Officer’s Christian Fellowship board meeting. This is the godliest group of people I get to spend time with. It will be a lot of work but it will also be a spiritual refreshment, too.

This past week, my nephew, David, was to get married to his sweetheart, Julie, in Florida. Lynne was going down and stay with her folks (I could not go; nowadays I have to make an appointment just to talk to myself). My daughter, April, and her new husband, Jared (he’ll be “new” until I die) were going to fly to Florida and meet Lynne there to enjoy the family and the nuptials.

It did not happen that way.

David was in a serious car accident and the wedding has been postponed until August 8.  He’ll be fine by then.

 April and Jared got a great deal on tickets to fly down on Wednesday and return on Monday (today). Unfortunately, their great deal was on Skybus(t).

 When they found out their return flight had evaporated into chapter elevenland, they were able to get a flight on Delta.

 April’s ticket had her last name as “Brown” but all of her ID’s have her new last name, “Watson.” The Transportation Security Administration did not like that. Plus, she had 4 oz. of mouth wash in her carry-on and they detained her with several other terrorist suspects. (Just kidding about the terrorist part). She had to get someone to fax her copies of her passport and marriage certificate to prove that she had moved significantly down the alphabet on purpose by committing matrimony.

 As a result, they missed their Delta flight.

 They found a flight on JetBlue. It does not fly to where their car is parked at the Columbus airport. So they will have someone meet them in Pittsburgh and go home from there. They will go to Columbus, OH someday to get their car.

 I must go now and see if JetBlue declared bankruptcy before they land in Pittsburgh.

 Have a blessed week!
