Running through an airport with rolling luggage without a working escalator was an excellent workout. Though the luggage weighed less than my pack in the Bataan Memorial Death March, my race to catch a flight back to DC did not result in a victory. Out of breath and exhausted, I found myself with an extra 11 hours of unanticipated vacation (or layover) in LAX. Not wanting to waste the day, I headed to the USO Lounge to enjoy a plush couch and write my blog post. As a nerdy example in recursion, I posted a picture above of myself writing on my blog.
The minor setback at LAX gave me time to think about how much I have to be thankful for. Unlike my brothers-in-arms, I have not been shot at or had a car bomb explode close to my location. Along with physical safety, God has granted mercy for all of my mistakes and failures through Jesus' death on a cross.
What do you have to be thankful for?
What a picture! I love the one of you guys in front of Dr. Suess and the Cat in a Hat.
