Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ, our Savior!

It was a good day of rest yesterday. Starting with church we heard a message from chapter two in Habakkuk about how we have too much noise in our lives to be able to hear God clearly; “But the Lord is in his holy temple, let all the earth be silent before him” (vs. 20).

At some point in the middle of the night two jet airliners crossed paths somewhere over the continents of North and South America.
