We Finally Made It


Hey everyone, we finally made it to the City of Children Saturday afternoon. The trip from home to San Diego was quite the adventure. We flew out of Norfolk a few minutes late but made up time in the air. It was the leaving from Newark, NJ that did not seem to want to happen. We sat in the plane for over 90 minutes before we were allowed to take off due to severe weather (that was what they said) out west. When we finally took off we had to head for Atlanta and then go west to avoid the "severe weather" (wink...wink!) so our flight was longer than it was supposed to be. Boy, airline seats can sure get uncomfortable after several hours being cramped next to the window. We finally arrived in San Diego about an hour after our scheduled arrival time so all in all it was not too bad. One of our teens had a more trying time. Her flight was delayed in Norfolk and because of the tight layover schedule she was never going to make them. The airlines made arrangements for her to fly on another carrier but it was not going to fly out until 2 pm and she was not going to get to San Diego until 8 pm Thursday night. Everything went smoothly though and we got her to the hotel to join up with the rest of the gang.
The weather is warmer and more humid than I remember from past years and Stan Stout said the water temp is around 78 degrees instead of the typical 68 degrees so the cool breeze is not happening. But what is there to complain about. We got to fly over 3000 miles in less than half a day, stay the night in beautful San Diego, cross the border safely on Saturday without incident and have pizza with a bunch of Mexican teen Christians at the City of Children. GOD IS GOOD!

Paul told the Philippians to Do everything without complaining or arguing, 15 so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe 16 as you hold out the word of life (Phil 2:14-16) This is something that I can certainly work on in my life...how about you?


Roger, over and out!

Yea, it is good to be here and we thank you for all the prayers. I cannot for some reason send out email but I do receive it. If you can offer any suggestions on what I need to do to get it to work I would be greatly appreciative.
