i am in portland for the week doing training for horizon along with 23 other agents from the region. this morning there was a buzz in the lobby as we waited for the shuttle to take us to the flight opps building because of news that 113 horizon flights were cancelled today due to a mechanical air to the aircraft... turns out that scandinavia airlines had a crash landing when one of the landing gears failed upon landing... (the same model aircraft as one of ours, the Q400) so the first question we all had was, do we still have a job :) and the second was, how are we getting home on friday with all these flights grounded? for your information horizon was not required to do this. horizon is all about safety and customer service, with safety coming first. and by being safe we are providing excellent customer service!

the training is going just fine, i miss my wifey, but hubby needs to be able to put bread on the table... for now :) i just got back to the hotel after going out with my good childhood friend, adam nevins. he showed me around the city of portland, we shared a meal and talked about life together... a moment i will cherish as he is heading down to new orleans at the beginning of the new year.  

"And he said to them, 'Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation." -Mark 16.15

i see people that i grew up with and people that i care about, and we are all going in different directions and finding ourselves in different places around the country, and the globe... and it is exciting! it is sad that we are not all together, but it is exciting to see guys that are being sensitive to the holy spirit and are not staying in their comfortable space where it is safe, but are acting on the passions instilled to them and using the gifts blessed to them. from bellevue to n.o. to boston and all over... there is no distance that will keep us apart, the bond we have is too strong, the one thing that keeps us united is in christ and christ alone.

love 

endures 

forever.
