A Night To Remember

December 24th, 2011 · Comments Off on A Night To Remember

It had been a rough week.  I had been so busy with my job, working all night.   The folks I work with were feeling the same… tired and exhausted,  each of us working in close proximity to the other. The night sky lately had been just awesome.   It was extremely clear and and every now […]

Thy Word is a Lamp Unto My Feet

It was way back in 1984 and I had just been hired to fly an old Beech King Air aircraft. It was an aircraft with lots of history. Old pilots who knew the airplane told of when LBJ himself flew in it when it was new. After a few weeks of on the job training, […]

The Door To Freedom

Many years ago at a state prison just outside of Huntsville, Texas they were adding a new addition on to the prison.  This was back before the days before we had over one hundred prisons.  Matter of fact, Texas had just a handful at the time. Things were very different then, but guarding prisoners was […]

He is Always in Control

Many years ago, before the turn of the century, when I was an ambitious young pilot , I was offered a ride in a twin engine Beechcraft Barron.   The 58P Baron was the Cadillac of small light twins.  Although I was licensed to fly single engine aircraft, I had yet to make the step into a multi-engine airplane.   […]

There is a story I heard long ago from the president of a large company which was going through some difficult times.   It was a story of a man who had a famous hot dog stand.  He sold tens of thousands of hot dogs every year.   Although  he had little or no formal education, he was very […]

He Calls Me Higher

  Many years ago I flew an aircraft called a King Air.  It was a multi-million dollar turbo-prop aircraft that cruised about 320 miles per hour.  It was not a very fast airplane in relation to the jets of today but it could really climb especially at the lower altitudes.  Every day I would fly this […]

A few days ago I was flying from the West coast of the United States to a city in the midwest.   I was high above the  clouds at forty one thousand feet cruising in the smooth rarefied air.  When I came to the Rocky Mountains,  it started getting rough and bumpy.  I was in the […]

Touched By The Master’s Hand

Many years ago when I was listening to Christian radio I heard a song.  I cannot remember the title of it or just who wrote it but I will always remember what it was about.  It told a story about  an auction and certain items that were being auctioned off.  One of the items being […]

I can remember when I got my first flying job many years ago.  It was flying a DC-3.  There are some things that you always remember.   Where you were when Kennedy was shot, when your first child was born.  For me it was this day, flying an old DC-3.  I will always remember taking off […]
