Cancelled



Never have I seen so many unhappy faces. Not a smile was spotted anywhere in the waiting area. Tension levels were high. Frustration abounded. Toes were tapping. Phone calls were being made. The flight to Dallas had been cancelled.

Businessmen had to change their meetings, families had to rearrange their vacations and others were trying to manipulate their routes in order to get to their ultimate destination. It was the ripple effect. The weather in one city had caused the flight to a major hub to be unable to takeoff thus the dominoes began falling. The people on that flight had to be placed on other flights and other airlines, leaving many angry and upset.

I'm so glad that God doesn't cancel on us. We can count on Him to always be there for us. We don't have to wait on Him or wonder if He is going to let us down. Even though His time frame is often not exactly the same as ours and it seems that He is late, we are in reality just early for His perfect plans.

When we might think things have been cancelled due to situations and circumstances beyond our control, our Sovereign God is in perfect control of each and every moment. And the best part of it all is that God never cancels our “ultimate” flight.  Once we have committed to our relationship to Jesus and have secured our seat on the heaven bound airplane, He will never cancel our destination. We may make mistakes along the way, but God forgives us and we are still assured that He loves us and wants to spend all eternity with us. Nothing can separate us from Him...nothing!

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38

Mount of the Holy Cross

Image
For years people have enjoyed the awe of Mount of the Holy Cross which is a 14,000 foot mountain in the Sawatch Range of Colorado. It is named for the distinctive snow-filled cross at the top of the mountain and was proclaimed a national monument by Herbert Hoover in 1929. Painters have painted it; photographers have photographed it and hikers have hiked it, because of its special beauty. When my children were young and visiting the area, we would take the gondola up the mountain to the observation deck at Eagle’s Nest for the perfect view of the majestic Mount of the Holy Cross.  So when my grandchildren were visiting this summer, it seemed natural to take them to the same spot for old times’ sake.  The mountain had not changed and the view was still inspiring, but something was terribly wrong. The name on the sign at Eagle’s Nest had been changed. It was no longer labeled Mount of the Holy Cross, but instead has been replaced with the designation Cross of Snow. Why would that be do

My Latest Award!

This is my niece Allison Bullock who wins triathlons! I won an award today, but before you go getting all excited for me or want to see how you can win one too, you might want to read more. This honor might not be one you want to receive, because you see it is not an accolade that I really want either.  I went for my annual mammogram this morning and while there the doctor found some suspicious areas and wanted to have an ultrasound performed. While laying on the sterile bed, with my pretty pink robe opened and covered with goo used for the transducer, the hand-held device that sends out the waves which produce the picture, the technician declared that I had won the prize for the most cysts she had ever seen in a patient. How do you like that one! I guess the good part is that cysts are not usually dangerous, but still…. I have received other awards in my life that are much more prestigious than the one today, but there is a future award that I hope to obtain that will be more
