RC Video

I think anyone who watches this will appreciate it whether you are an aviation enthusiast or not.

Okay, we are back from Cabo San Lucas. We, Jeanne and I had a great 4 day 3 night vacation here. All we did yesterday was sit on the beach front and watch boats, waves and people. We sat there from 9:00 a.m. til 7:00 p.m. and ordered lunch and dinner on the beach. It was great.

Return to Quito



Well, I finally have been awarded a trip that I actually get to pilot back to my old mission stomping grounds. It has eluded me over the past several months. I leave tomorrow afternoon and arrive in Quito at about 9:45 p.m. I stay overnight and leave the following evening at 11:30 p.m. for the red-eye back to Atlanta. I will be able to go visit the Armas family that I taught and baptized when I was in Quito North. I have returned about 5 times to Ecuador since my mission but this will be the first time as a flight crew operating the flight. Pretty cool if you ask me. I remember sitting by the airport as a missionary wondering what it would be like to be a pilot and now another aspect of my fantasy will become reality. When I return on Tuesday morning I am hopping on a flight to Houston to have lunch with Ligia Diaz a lady I baptized and who is visiting her daughter in Houston.

Decline of Christianity vs Increase of Islam.

This is a youtube video that was emailed to me that seems astonishing. I had heard the numbers before but this is the first video I have seen. As always, research it for your own before making any decisions but this seems scary to me.

I suppose it seems scary to me because I am not Muslim. Had these numbers been in favor of my own belief system I would be thrilled! The difference is the end goal of each belief system and how each looks at the phrase, "The ends justifies the means".
