Dear Lynda, Let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Hebrews 12:1 During World War II an American colonel was piloting a B-29 bomber. During an attack on Tokyo his plane lost two engines to enemy anti-aircraft fire. Home base was over 1000 miles away. The officer said to his crew, “I have never believed in ditching a ship as long as it’s flying. I don’t want to risk becoming prisoners. Let’s try to make it home.” They threw out everything they could do without, including ammunition and armor. With the extra weight out, the colonel landed his plane safely on the sands of Saipan and was decorated for his courage. (Bill Boknight) What extra baggage is pulling you down? Don’t let sins and other earthly attachments cause you to ditch your Christian journey. Your heavenly flight requires that you travel light! Throw out the excess weight and stay focused on the journey home. Point of Connection: Make me what Thou wouldst have me. I bargain for nothing. I make no terms. (John Henry Newman)
