Wow!

I'm writing tonight from my hotel in Valley Forge PA. I flew in to Philadelphia this afternoon for business and development meetings. As I was boarding the plane at DFW, a little boy, maybe 5 or 6 years old, boarded the plane, looked down that long aisle and I heard him say "Wowwwwww!" You know, that kind of "wow" that takes 15 seconds to get it said.

I've been on enough planes that I have to admit that I don't always think "wow" when I board one. But when I do think about it, I still find it amazing that something so big and so heavy, carrying so much fuel and people and food and luggage can get off the ground. If you think about it, it really is STILL amazing. Wow!

The weather was beautiful for flying today. Smooth and clear all the way. Approaching Philadelphia was a really nice trip weaving through some clouds, then coming in over the Philadelphia sports complex, then over the shipyard with aircraft carriers and other large military ships.

Our lives are full of amazing and wonderful things. If we listen to much to the negative political speeches and reports from both parties, or if we hang around with those who are negative-minded or bitter about something, it's so easy to lose sight of how wonderfully we are blessed -- wonderful things all around us. Please don't lose your "Wow"!

I hope YOU are blessed today. I sure am!
