Well, here we sit in the airport at DFW.  It has been a long day already and we haven't even left the ground.  We got up this morning excited, ate, finished up last minute packing hurriedly, and then the phone call came.  The plane was delayed for three hours.  That would mean we would miss our connecting flight out of Germany.  Start calling and texting people.  So what happens now?  Stop, slow down, God is in control.  So, we slowed down, ran some last minute errands, and was ready to wait it out.  Then another phone call came.  Oh, just because the plane is delayed doesn't mean you are.  You still have to be at the airport at the same time.  Hurry, call everyone back.  We made it to the airport - on time for the first flight which wasn't there.  No other flights available today except the delayed one.  We checked in and each of us were given a $20 food voucher for our trouble.  So we ate at the Reata.  It was delicious.  We spent $40.02.  Best two cent dinner I've ever had.  Could not have planned it any better.  Gratuity could not be included on the voucher, so we used it all.  So now we sit and wait.  The plane leaves at 6:45.  Because of the delay, we will miss our connecting flight.  The only other plane out is six hours after we get there.  So instead of arriving in Jerusalem at 2:30 in the afternoon we will be arriving after midnight, only to get up at 6:30 and begin the tour of the Holy Land.   We are still excited and anxious to get there and begin the tour.  Everyone is in good spirits, just ready to leave.  Below is a picture of Mike and Victor.  Victor is the owner of the tour company.  Great guy.  He has done everything he could to help us out. He's giving us our last minute instructions.  Continue to pray.  I will continue to let you know about our adventure of getting to Israel.  We are going to make it this time!
