Over the last couple days I've had the opportunity of visiting another Caribbean island, namely Antigua (hence why my MSN nick was <nick>.ag as opposed to .bb) and even though it was a pretty OK trip, I'm glad to be back on "home soil". One thing I must say though, if ever you think that you've never experienced God's beautiful creation in this world, try viewing it from 21,000 ft above sea level! I kid you not!
As I was going up, and the plane was flying through the clouds it felt a bit.. scary at times, I mean these are the clouds I usually look up to!, and 20mins into the flight, I'm looking down at them casting their shadows on the ocean!
Barbados from that far up looks pretty populated in some parts, but in others just puuuree greenery. Sorry I don't have any pics to show but the camera was knackered.
Another interesting thing that hit me up there (or actually when we were descending) was that I was able to pick out a Banks logo on the roof of probably some "bar" located somewhere in Christ Church! Now I wonder... a logo on the roof.. this must be advertising targeted for airline passengers! I can't imagine many people will get to see the roof of that building in normal day-to-day transactions!
Anyway, sometimes seeing the world or.. at least where you live from soooo far up can put a perspective on things. That far up, you get a glimpse of "the bigger picture".. but also you say to yourself.. "Hmm.. if anything happens to this plane... it's curtains for me (especially when the plane shakes at times )".. but two things must come into play then.. 1. Your trust in God that everything will be how it should be, and 2. Your knowledge of being saved and thus, there being no worry about if you will be called home. Yes that's blunt but... that's how it is. Enjoy life people but remember, there is a "bigger picture".
Bless up ppl. :-)
