I’ve always known that sitting by someone on a plane could be a divine appointment to talk about spiritual things. Recently, this happened to me on my flight to Indianapolis.
A young man sat down in my row and we immediately started talking. He was very friendly, so we had a nice conversation...
My gazing time has become me-time, but not alone time. It is truly a “date with God”— a time to look at his beautiful creation and stand in awe.
