Inky Cold Darkness

As we fly, I have been surprised that we have flown north over Canada and the North Pole. Now we are over a polar sea in pitch blackness.

The flight tracker shows -85 degrees F outside. At about 1/2 way of the trip we are far from anything. The ocean is deep under us. It is dark and cold-- Inhospitable outside. This part of the globe has not had sunshine for months, and won't for a few more months. Winter rages its fury all around us.

But a way through which little could survive has been carved for us as we fly over the top of the globe and down toward Siberia Russia and then on to Hong Kong.

Speed: 530 mph, 31000 ft, 9 hrs more flight to go. (Obviously when this posts we will be on the ground.)

In going to this dark place, we need the spark of Jesus and the Gospel to give us warmth and light. Through the valley of the shadow of death -- He is here with us.

Pray with us for a spark.
