Close Call
We just now deplaned in Atlanta after having lost an engine on our plane! 10 minutes into the ascent we heard a big BANG (those on the right side saw smoke) and saw the monitors in the seat-backs go black. The aircraft then shifted "pitch" to flat horizontal (no longer ascending). I began to pray. My pastor and one of his assistants happened to be on the same flight in the seats beside me -- I know they were praying. It was really frightening but I didn't panic -- not in the sense of being without hope.
I began to worship God, the Great Musician, The Lord Jesus, The Holy One, the Alpha and the Omega, exalted, blessed forevermore. My peace was in knowing Him, not so much in knowing what the outcome might be.
It was frightening.
But here we are. I would like to send a word of encouragement and love to families of airline disasters, especially on 9/11. God bless and restore you.

I'm so glad you all walked away from this one. You mentioned several of my favorite people in that story.

I praise his name with you Kirk through Jesus Christ! As an old song goes, "Count your blessings, name them one by one and see what God has done! "Give thanks in all circumstances for this is God's will for you through Jesus Christ." I Thess. 5:18
