John 16:16-33
This past week I attended a conference in New Orleans (or as the natives call it "Naw-lins"). Yesterday afternoon, my return flight out of New Orleans was delayed. By the time we finally took off for Dallas/ Fort Worth we were over an hour behind schedule. I was pretty confident I wasn't going to make my connecting flight from Dallas/Fort Worth to Seattle. We touched down in Dallas/ Fort Worth at 4:15. By the time I finally got off the plane it was 4:30—the exact time my flight was supposed to depart!

The directions to C-21 took me up the longest escalator I've ever seen. They say, "Everything is bigger in Texas," but this was a proverbial "stairway to heaven." I thought, "I am either on Candid Camera or I am a contestant on Amazing Race." After I got off the escalator, the next sign directed me to take a tram. After I got off the tram, the arrow to C-21 took me down another long escalator. This dropped me off at C-29. I thought to myself: I just have to make it to gate C-21. This can't be too far, perhaps a few yards? Well, I ended up sprinting a long-distance, what you might call "Texas yards." I arrived at C-25 and was worn out. I could see gate C- ...
