Flying

A successful flight
is what I call a journey
when the landing's right.

-a haiku by Voltaire

Okay... I realize that it's been a while, but thanks to Dave, I decided to get back into posting my "inspirational" thoughts. ;-)

It's also been a while since I've written a haiku (I think the last one I wrote was in 4th grade). But, since our recent BCC Family Camp, a Board Meeting that we had this past Saturday, and some coffee time afterwards talking about flying, I've gotten motivated again.

Well, Shockwave, this haiku was written because of you! Just remember that part of teaching people how to fly is being able to bring them back down to earth...

"I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world."
John 17:14-18
