Divine Providence?

We are back! Helen and I enjoyed our trip to California. The weather was great, but even better was meeting Parker for the first time. To be with Faith and Deacon was a treat too! If I would have known grand children were so good, we would have had them first!

This trip did not do much to increase my confidence in commercial aviation. We were to leave Omaha at 7:00 A.M. on the 18th. It was 10 below 0. When the heat was turned on the windshield it cracked. 3" thick glass cracked! The flight had to be cancelled. We were 12 more hours getting out of Omaha. We were all thinking that we were very blessed that it happened on the ground rather than in flight. Was it special providence? If the windshield would have cracked like it did in flight you would not be reading this. We would have been a statistic. The crack was more like a shatter as it looked like a spider web across the windshield.

Yes, I think the Lord blessed us with a safe trip, and a wonderful week with our California family!

Grace & Peace;
Tom

Welcome home Tom and Helen! Glad you had a safe trip, even though it wasn't very peaceful! Maybe you can post a picture of the grandkids!
Blessings!
