But, we're not on the ground yet. Our group has a saying that "God is never late concerning His promises, but very rarely early!" I have found that to be in the most part true. Has something to do with stretching our faith, I think.
I'm in transit, sitting in the lobby of the Transit Hotel in the Jakarta Airport. I'll attend to vehicle procurement when I get stateside.
FWIW, yesterday's flight in coach just had my ruptured disk screaming. The pitch gets shallower and I feel bad about leaning my seat back. The seats are hard, too so there is no give at all. Yuck! I took a few pain pills along the way. We may have to upgrade just to keep me out of the hospital.
Y'all may get a smile out of this little travel vignet. I always check my flights to make sure the life preserver is stored below the seat. Most of my travel miles involve being over the oceans so this is a normal procedure. A couple of years ago, however, I was traveling from Detroit to Atlanta. But when I reached under my seat to check for the life preserver, it wasn't there! I was horrified and a bit scared. What would happen if we had to ditch? Could I be positive I was concious enough to swim? Where was that life jacket?
I was reaching for the stewardess call button when I realized it. We weren't traveling over an ocean. Tee hee!
?I do that sometimes when I don't take my pocketbook. At times I don't feel like lugging the thing. All at once I realize I don't have it and YIKES, I panic!
Creatures of habit , we are.
Oh my.. back problems & tourist class flying dont mix! praying for your relief dear friend. You have so much on your plate when you return.
I just splurged a month ago for MY FIRST personal purchase FOR ME in 8 years..
An Inversion platform apparatus. Is is to stretch the spine/traction.
I also have herniated discs (plus stenosis & advanced arthritis). After about 4 weeks of regular use I do see vast improvement. Recommend you try one out. Most of the sporting places that carrry them will let you come many times to see if you get help. They fit you & help you through initial useage. Mine is from Play it Again Sports (a national franchise..but not sure if in your area)
