A Day's Travel

Sunday following ministering in the morning Jill and I caught a plane to Moscow for the next slice in our travels. At the airport outskirts the friend driving us was stopped by the law enforcement. To make an extremely lengthy narrative short they took our companion into the police station alongside the highway. At this time we have no inkling what is going on other than our plane is going to take off shortly and we are not on it.

For one complete hour Jill and I sat in the van while our friend was meeting with the police about an accident that had been resolved but remained on this regions information of cars to stop. Thankfully, after one hour of sitting, they permitted our friend to drop us off at the airport and then return to the station and complete the paper work.

With only minutes to spare Jill and I sat down in our plane seats on the flight to Moscow. Our friend, after dropping us off, went back to the station and early the next morning was at last free to return home. We arrived at our place of residence in Moscow early Monday morning as well – drained but very pleased to be back.

I guess you can say it was one more day in our travels. My daily prayer is becoming like this, “Lord, for today, let’s make it un-eventful”. Amen!
