Hello from the Nashville Airport. Ms. Kate and I still have about an hour and a half to wait until we fly out. We almost always drive to Nashville to catch our Southwest Flight to Las Vegas. It is only a three hour drive and we enjoy the trip unless we are in a heavy rainstorm or maybe snow. But today was a beautiful sunny 80 degree day so the trip was enjoyable.

We'll get in to Las Vegas about 5:30 pm Pacific time which add two hours to our 24 hour day. The weather there too is expected to be sunny and 80 degrees which is great. When it gets up in to the 100's like it was last week out there, the air convection rising up make it a bumpy ride for the landing.

It is always interesting watching people at an airport. I tend to look at people and try to figure out where they are coming from and where they are going. Some of them get offof the plane with scowls on their faces, others look worn out, and some are looking for their next gate or the direction to the baggage claim. Everybody is in a hurry and probably eighty percent are in a hurry as they walk with their cell phone either up to their ear or are texting like crazy.

So, that is it for today. The miracles of aviation and technology are going to transport us 1700 miles in three hours at 650 miles an hour. As I told someone this morning, our grandparents and great grandparents would be amazed at what we can do these days. God has indeed blessed man with the ability to dream and invent. But unfortunately we don't always use it to God's glory. Let's you and I make a commitment to do it better.

Peace.
