The Great Inversion

Currently my wife Becky, daughter Hannah and son Caleb are cruising at 33,000 feet over West Africa.  They are headed to London tonight and tommorow will continue from London to Seattle.  There are few things more difficult for me than to put a portion of my family on an airplane and say goodbye for a short period of time.  While I will enjoy having some special time with Elijah and Gabriel, nothing will be exactly right while we are separated by such a vast space.  As I pulled away from Kotoko International Airport in Accra, Ghana I couldn’t help but shed a few tears.  I am fanatically faithful to my wife and children and take their personal safety and protection very personally.  However, when I heard their plane take off and fly over the guesthouse here in Accra where we are staying, I was reminded how powerless I am to protect them in this instance in particular.  Control must be given to God.  I am reminded of this each time I am separated from my family.  So, I ask you to please join me in praying for my darling wife and children while they are away and that he would bring them back safely in a couple weeks.  Thanks!
