Hey everybody, Ben here…sitting at DIA waiting for a winter storm in Chicago to clear up so we can leave…we were supposed to leave at 9:40. It is now 10:08. Man! Caleb is ill. He feels sick to the stomach. I told him that’s what chipotle does at 3:00 AM in the morning. He’s like really gray. Looks like he didn’t sleep at all last night and being in uncomfy airport chairs doesn’t help. Whatever! Hopefully all this clears up soon and we can head out. I hope. Oh, and this is Mrs. Lane’s second time flying…ever. Pretty exciting stuff that!

For His renown,

We had about 30 minutes in the Chicago airport. It wasn't very much fun. Didn't get any lunch. Barely got to use the restroom. The djembe didn't fit in the overhead bin. Etc. So that was our layover in chicago.

We finally got to Philly. Our luggage hadn't made it on the same flight we did out of chi-town. So we waited for the next flight from Chicago to bring our suitcases and stuff. They came, we got our rental van. We went to Wendy's (the offical sponser of the BZB).

It is now 10:30 EST and we're just settling into our hotel room.

Caleb wants me to tell everyone that he's not dead. He didn't die either. And he probably won't. And I hope he doesn't because I'm sharing a room with him and it'd be really creepy to sleep with a dead person in the room.

Greta want's me to inform all of our 10 adoring fans, that Southwest airlines needs to patent a plane that has one wing turned up and one wing turned down. So that the plane spirals the entire flight. Kind of like a 3 hour roller coaster. You know, like the paper airplanes.

We had a very enjoyable time hanging out and keeping each other in tolerably good moods.

1 peter 1:13Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed. 14As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. 15But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; 16for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy."[a]
17Since you call on a Father who judges each man's work impartially, live your lives as strangers here in reverent fear. 18For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers, 19but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. 20He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake. 21Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God.
22Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from the heart.[b] 23For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. 24For, "All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, 25but the word of the Lord stands forever."[c] And this is the word that was preached to you.
