A lot of planes fly over our house. They fly so high I never even notice they’re there.
A lot of planes fly over our house . . . until 9/11/01, when all planes were grounded. During those 3 days, I heard the silence. The skies screamed.
When flights began again, I could turn my attention again more undistractedly back to “normal” life, instead of staring up.
More than anything I wanted to fly–anywhere. I wanted to prove with my body that my life and death are not in the hands of any human. My life is in God’s hand’s. No one and nothing can take it until he says it’s the time for my appointment.
. . . whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s.
Romans 14:8

Our 6-year-old Talitha’s heart was gripped with one prayer after 9/11. I wrote about it at my other blog.
That verse is the very verse that I always say whenever I fly anywhere (which is not that often!) It is appointed unto man once to die…
There is no reason to fear, if you are in Christ!
Truth!
“For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” Philippians 1:21
“for “‘In him we live and move and have our being’; as even some of your own poets have said, ”‘For we are indeed his offspring.’”
Act 17:28
