Some details on our flight path

I meant to post this earlier but by the time we got here I had pretty much blocked out most of the long plane ride. Several people had asked us why we would fly to Newark only to turn around and fly back across the country westward and then on to Asia. Well, we didn't fly west, we flew north. It was really pretty cool. We took off and flew up through New England, Canada, and then on over Greenland and the North Pole. It was pretty clear for part of the flight over those last areas so it was great just watching out the window. We had daylight the whole time, too, which made the view spectacular. We flew over snow, floating icebergs, and glaciers for several hours. I guess I don't spend much time thinking about how much of the earth is in this form. While on the plane, I found myself thinking about the amazing way in which God created the world with regions so amazingly different, but still essential in so many ways. So anyway, if you fly to Asia from Newark, you just might fly over the North Pole, too. Enjoy the ride.
