The school is smaller, still professional but a little more relaxed mindset. The planes are older but my instructor is good, a thirty-something British girl. But for the most part I liked Vero Beach better than Sanford, particularly the proximity to diving, surfing, etc.....
Haven't really gotten a chance to meet anybody here and I didn't get to go to church today since I had to fly but I am going to look for a church next week. I am supposed to fly twice a day next week so that should keep me out of trouble. I was supposed to fly twice today but between smoke from nearby wildfires and a thunderstorm that rolled in right as I was ending my first flight, that just wasn't going to happen. We had about ten interesting minutes trying to enter the traffic pattern at the end of the flight trying to dodge others student pilots, with just the bare minimums for legal VFR flight (that's visual flight without radar telling you when you are about to bump into somebody).
On another note, I'm wrestling with some issues of what I should do once I finish training here. I've been praying about it a lot and am trying to determine if God wants to take my life in a different direction. We'll see. The Christian life is like flying in instrument conditions, you walk by faith not by sight. Also you have to trust your instruments and not feelings. And like an Air Traffic Controller, God often times will give us vectors that we weren't expecting or won't give us the whole flight plan at once, after we get to the next point then he'll tell us where to go next. Right now my routing is to be the best pilot I can be. After that......

" As I said, Your nickname from me would be "The Man" 
Hope all goes well with the flight school, and I'm sure when you're done you'll be the best pilot possible. Press on brother!
