During takeoff my thoughts turned to my facionation with flight and man's (God given) creativity. Thank you Wright Brothers! Just think...100 years ago, missionaries traveled differently.
No Cell phones
No laptops
No Google Earth
No non-stop international flights
Going on a survey trip in this age is such a blessing.
Think about it...
-Minneapolis to Santiago, Chile in 12 hours.
-Ability to call home through Skype (the internet) and talk to my family.
-Even posting my thoughts for you all to read instantly.

Do you ever look throught the Sky Mall magizine while your on a plane?
Well, I do. Sky Mall magizine is the magizine that is in the seat pouch in front of you that has all the latest gadgets and novelty items. I mean come on...who in their right mind would buy any of these items?
-Alcohawk Blood Alcohol Content Breath Screener ($119.95)
-A Luke Skywalker Lightsaber ($120)
-The Pirates of the Caribbean Pinball Game ($350)
-4 in 1 Rotating Game Table ($600) Hockey, Foosball, Football, & Pool
-Large Cherry Wood Watch Storage Case (holds 24 watches) ($100) Who has more than one or two watches?
-The Remote Control Golf Ball ($40)
I'll give you my advice...don't buy them.
Better yet...take some Biblical advice...invest in eternal things, like the Lord's work (your local church or missions).
Anyway...those were some of my thoughts on the plane.
