Amazing

I take a 45-minute tour through a pilot's fear-of-flying website and I'm almost EXCITED to get on the plane. I even purchased some word search books and another puzzle book just in case someone else starts spazzing. Oddly enough, that has been my worst fear: spazzing. I'm not especially worried about the plane crashing or people being incompetent (terrorism HAS crossed my mind, and if Bart weren't with me, that would be less of a concern); I've been worried more about getting on the plane and wanting off NOW only to be sealed in at 35,000 feet. In other words, I am mostly fearing fear. Roosevelt said that is the only thing we HAVE to fear, so I guess I'm on target, but still...

Mike's sermon was wonderful this morning, as is almost usual. (Everyone is allowed a dud now and then; he hasn't hit many of those at all.) He even explained that "but if you blaspheme the Holy Spirit..." clause. I was surprised to find that I had been pretty on-target with the "I think..." explanation. NO one before had been able to explain it to me.
