You can tell the people who fly often. They wait unitl the final boarding call to get on the plane. If you get on the plane right when they first call, you end up sitting on the plane for 1/2 hour.

I prayed for safety in the car (Sylvia drives the Alpho Romaro faster than I think you are even allowed here, and that's pretty fast). And, I prayed for safety flying. Then I realized these are things I want - not need. There is a new higher level of trust in God that nothing happens outside of His will. There is complete and total peace at my center -- because, Jesus is.

Lord, I pray that this is the new me and that I will not take any steps back into the dark.

After the plane was in the air - I cried.

Germany is beautiful. I think if we fly over Speicher I'd be able to see the church!

Lord, I thank You for these gifts.

Seeing my Oma in realistic light -- my sister bond with Monika. Thank You for Thomas and Brigitte and Ignatz, Sylvia and Jurgen... Ischa and Kimba.

Funny to be able to say so much with so few words.

* How to know if you are on a European flight --- free beer and it's not "Ham and Cheese sandwhich" it's "Ham OR Cheese".

Above the clouds again.  Eating and drinking being offered for an hour and a half flight.  It will be interesting to weigh myself when I get home. (yikes).
