Even though this was a huge thrill flying in Ned's stunt plane, walking in faith with Jesus has always been the biggest thrill of my life. Special thanks to Ned Linch for taking me up for a wild ride!
Most of life is a "Wild" ride! For many of you this past year has had some unexpected barrel roles and wind current that were totally unexpected. The truth is that many of us will face insurmountable circumstances in 2010 as well. It is nice when life gives us a smooth ride, but that is not always the case. So, how do you make it through those very difficult times?Simple. Who is piloting your life? For me to take this "Wild" ride in this experimental plane was easy, because I was not the pilot. My friend Ned is a retired F-16 pilot and a current pilot for a large airline. When I strapped in I had total faith and trust in him, his skills and abilities. '
So often in life we are trying to pilot our own lives, we are not created to do so. We don't see the air currents of life that are coming at us tomorrow or even today. I don't even want to be the co-pilot of my life. Put me at the controls for even a moment and I will spin out of control of the first barrel role, crash and burn. That is a picture of Lordship. Jesus is the pilot. The one I totally trust to fly the plane. The more I keep my hands off the controls and trust Him regardless of how rough the ride may be, regardless of the storms, the safer I am and the more I will enjoy the journey!
Ned and I have already plotted a plan for another ride. I am looking forward to flying "through" Monument Valley!!!
