Stranded

I was gone last week to FL for our company's annual technical interchange and awards banquet. Due to the ice storm in Atlanta, our return flight to Baltimore on Sunday was delayed a day and a half.

Despite wanting to be home with Doris, there was a distinct bright spot in the trip. While waiting in the airport yesterday, Todd Montgomery, one of my college friends from UWF (University of West Florida), spotted me in the terminal. I hadn't seen him in about ten years, but here we were, waiting on the same flight. We talked for about two hours, just catching up.

I was just thinking about Todd a few weeks ago and regretting that I hadn't kept in touch with him. When Todd and I parted in Atlanta as he headed on to Palm Springs, I was grateful to God for connecting us again. I really don't believe in coincidences like that -- I think God sometimes works on our behalf even when we don't think to ask Him for help.

Suddenly being stranded wasn't so bad after all.
