I now understand why it is called a "terminal." One of my cancelled flights was due to the destination airport being fogged in. We had already boarded the plane when they told us to debark. By this point I felt like barking, because be-cause it was already around 11 p.m. When told that the next plane out would not be until the next morning, morn-ing, I felt like growling. Then when told that they would not give vouchers for a motel room because fog was an act of God, I felt like biting. But who would I bite? After all, they said it was God's fault there was fog and then I am sure biting God would be a huge mistake. mis-take. Around midnight I settled in a "terminal" chair for the night. It was designed by an engineer with a mean streak using the 1 by 2 principle. princi-ple. 1) It was too uncomfortable to sit in; and 2) it was twice as uncomfortable un-comfortable to sleep in. I think the same person designed church pews. It was a four chair section with two chairs back to back and all tied together. to-gether. I managed to get my arms and legs worked through the arm rests, as I wondered why they were called "rests" when "projectiles" seemed more fitting. The lights were on, at least four different audio au-dio systems were playing, people walking and talking. Then there were various public service announcements. an-nouncements. One announcement, which came about three times per hour, was that "unattended luggage would be confiscated due to bomb threats." Somewhere around 3 a.m. this announcement once again came on, but it came during a tftaig ay ep 8d mm myjdus1 (3sR&Siai:i3:) iCHH- dream that someone was putting a bomb in my luggage. I jumped to my feet and took off running and quickly found myself standing in the traveler's gift shop. The problem was that I was still entangled en-tangled in the arms of the section of the seats. To complicate matters there was a huge man still sitting in one of the Shairs. As he clutched to the arms of his chair he said, "Please let me off in Chicago." All this was God's fault you see, because of an act of fog by God. Of course it was an act of man which placed the airport in low lying land next to the river. You know, God-sure God-sure gets blamed for a lot of things. Why does God get blamed for fog, floods, droughts, tornadoes and the like. But for needed rains, sunshine, cool breezes, etc. he gets little or no credit. He gets blamed for sickness and death, but we credit health and longevity to the right kinds of eating eat-ing and exercise. If the flight is canceled can-celed due to fog it is an act of God, if because of mechanical failure it is an act of man. I guess they think that God has no mechanical ability and thus wouldn't know how to disable dis-able a plane. They have never read where the Bible says: "He, God, made the wheels of their chariots come off so that they had difficulty driving..." Exod 14:25. What a mess we find ourselves in when we begin to split our world into the sacred sa-cred and the secular. The next time we are tempted to say it is God's fault, remember that at His trial they could find no fault in Him, but He took our faults, sins, to the cross that we might be judged blameless. Are you blaming Him or are you trusting Him. See where the fault really lies and be in church next Sunday. My love to you, from Pastor Sathe. V |
