Seeing through the fog……

When I was flying ultralights to do the America From 500 Feet books, I often would take off pre-sunrise in hopes of catching morning fog.  On this morning at the Boundary Canoe Waters, I was rewarded with a good thick fog, off the water, and a wonderful amber sunrise!  One morning in Wisconsin the fog moved over to the air field I had taken off from, and I could’t find it when I flew back by GPS to land!!!!  I was lucky that the fog was not everywhere and I found a good straight stretch of local highway where I could safely land!  It’s pretty scary when you are up in the air and not sure where you are going to land safely!  It’s comforting to know God has your back!

 

This past weekend I had the pleasure of attending and speaking at the Photo Pro Expo in Covin- gton, Kentucky, just across the river from Cincinnati.  My group that drug out of bed for an early morning  {7:30 a.m.} program was great.  I really enjoyed sharing with them.  A few friends and associates knew I was having oral surgery tomorrow and everyone, knew it was my birthday, I’ve never had 180 people sing happy birthday to me before, but it was really cool!!!

 

I‘ve gotten a ton of emails, and face book posts reminding me that friends would be in prayer for me tomorrow.  I want to thank all those very kind people that have let me know they would be lifting me up.  I know that where two are more are gathered together before God, the results can be fantastic!  I’m still a little apprehensive about the procedure, but I feel confident God will be right there, thanks to your prayers!

 

I will likely be off the grid for a couple of days, but I hope to be telling all of you that it went well in a few days.  Thanks for standing with me, and giving me a safe place to land!  I’ll have your back next time!!

 

Blessings,

 

the pilgrim

    Bill: I’ve been thinking about you for sometime. How ironic that I go to your web page tonight and find out that you are going in for surgery. First Happy belated birthday. I’ll have you in my prayers and in my pray group at Southland. Love you brother. Your work is beautiful as usual.

      So good to hear from you, I ran into Tom Myers at a Photo Pro Expo, your ears must have been burning! I’m coming up to do a program when we can set a date. Can’t wait to catch up!!!

      Thanks Catherine, I’ve moved from discomfort to frustration, but it’s a process and God is getting me through it!
