Trumpets was a very inspiring Feast for all we spoke with. It began with the first two of thirteen messages I was to give by the Last Great Day. I am so thankful for the inspiration God gives to those of us who have teaching assignments and shared that with the brethren of Phoenix East at services today. Tonight we hauled our eight pieces of luggage and carryons to the Sky Harbor Airport compliments of Scott and Michelle Delamater who have a new minivan, just in time. Boarding the 747-400 jumbo jet I remarked to Merrie how odd it is to a small airplane pilot to imagine that one airplane can carry these hundreds of people, all their luggage plus thousands of pounds of fuel and actually fly. As we thundered down the runway the speed gradually increased to the point that buildings were flashing past, but we remained shy of takeoff speed. One comes to the conclusion that this state of affairs cannot continue indefinitely. Either we get airborne, or plow into the freeway at runway's end. Thankfully, lift was achieved just in time as we floated upward as car lights on the freeway flashed by beneath us. Life on board gets busy at altitude as beverages, entertainment and meals are served. But the need for sleep grows whilst the sun is already rising at our stopover destination, London.
