Above the clouds.
Left Albuquerque International Sunport at 10:45 or so. This post was actually written from the air. That's right, feel privileged.

The Young Squire was asleep before the wheels even left the ground. Now for a nice two hour nap to Houston.

I am still quite a child when it comes to flying. Just the sheer fact of it makes me grin irrepressibly. All that magic holding this box up in the air is really overwhelming.
~~~
The drinks service is a lovely touch, since I am a peckish traveller. A nice icy cold Coca-Cola goes a long way in my book. (There's a nice insight if you ever need to get on my good side...)
~~~
There is a couple sitting just ahead of us. They are... Very... comfortable... with each other... I'm thinking they should have booked a private cabin. :)
~~~
It's quite a blustery day out there. A bit of turbulence too. And of course we are going from 30 in Cuba to 70 in Houston. Yes, I will be completely annoyed with this coat/hat/scarf/gloves/boots thing by the time we get on the next flight.
No, I was not even remotely willing to brave the chill of NM merely for the convenience of less stuff. At least I know it'll be cold in Germany...

We were just told by the flight attendant that the young one "would probably be famous, rich and have lots of girl friends".
I think this hypothesis was based solely on his name. Interesting...
~~~
You know, sitting in the last row before the head, you kind of notice the absurd amount of travel to and from. It's absurd, I promise.
~~~
Okay, lots of turbulence coming down...
Lots and lots.
Further updates as events warrant. (Or if I get bored.)

Here we go...
So, my last post from the states for a while. Hopefully I'll get lots of adventuresome updates with awesome pictures attached.
Or I might end up posting a hundred and fifty once I get back from the void...
We'll see...

Sock Monkey Likes Buttons...
Today the Young Squire spent a long time repeatedly pressing a button on one of his toys, then taking his sock monkey's "hand" and helping it press the same button, before moving on to the next one. It was very, very awesome. I love watching him discover and experiment with the world around him. He is such a very smart and observant kid.

Propitiation
"Propitiation means the turning away of wrath by an offering. In relation to soteriology, propitiation means placating or satisfying the wrath of God by the atoning sacrifice of Christ."
Charles C. Ryrie (1999-01-11). Basic Theology: A Popular Systematic Guide to Understanding Biblical Truth
"The word propitiation carries the basic idea of appeasement, or satisfaction, specifically towards God. Propitiation is a two-part act that involves appeasing the wrath of an offended person and being reconciled to them." Propitiation is that "by which it becomes consistent with his character and government to pardon and bless the sinner. The propitiation does not procure his love or make him loving; it only renders it consistent for him to exercise his love towards sinners."
A two part act.
"Appeasing the wrath of an offended person" - through acceptance of Christ's sacrifice, thereby covering our sin with His shed blood. "Being reconciled" - through a conscious choice to change our lifestyle, our choices, our reactions, our attitudes, on a daily basis, to bring them back into line with the biblical model of being.
Propitiation is a lifestyle choice, not a wall between you and your sins.
