Seattle

Interesting flight to Seattle. My normal routine is to sit tight on an early morning flight and either read a bit or rest. This morning was different. The guy I sat next to asked if I was headed out on work or personal so I told him I was headed to Guatemala on a Compassion International trip.

As it turned out, he not only knows of Compassion but he’s a believer as well so we had a good conversation about kids, Christian radio, and his family a bit. He had been in town for his grandmother’s funeral and was headed home – back to Tampa, FL. I introduced him to Positive Life Radio (he’s going to listen on-line) and we talked about Compassion as well and the good work they’re doing.

When we got off the plane another guy came up to me (he had been sitting just a couple people away on the same row.) He asked who I was, “I thought so!” he said. “I listen to you on Positive Life Radio!” Didn’t get to talk with him much but was able to wish him safe travels.

It was a ministry opportunity – before I even got to Seattle! God is going to do great things through this trip. Pray with me that more opportunities will come up to talk with others about Christ.

In Seattle now so had to get some coffee – right? Had a extra dark Mocha from a Mocha Café (my kind of place.) Very nice.

I’m a little apprehensive about food on this trip. So many people have cautioned me about what I eat and drink. Seems like at least a couple people in a group this size always get sick. I don’t want to be one of them. I’ve been sick on the road before – so miserable. But still others have said, “No big deal – you’ll be fine!” I’ll go with the latter.
