The time is nearing 4:00pm on Thursday, February 20th. As I was watching the USA vs Canada Olympic women's hockey game, I received a phone call from Pastor Michael that we are taking off for the Minneapolis Airport THIS afternoon. Rather than depart from church at 2:00am Friday, Feb 21, as originally planned, we thought it'd be best to catch an earlier flight due to the weather. The forecast for this evening, and through the night, is
8 to 12 inches of snow and
blizzard like winds. So.....probably a good idea to catch a flight ASAP. I'm blogging from the back of the Moorlag truck right now and so far I've counted 5 cars and one US Postal Truck(sideways) in the ditch. AND WE'RE NOT EVEN TO ELK RIVER YET!!
So about that hockey game...... We lost 2-3 in OT to the Canadians. To make matters worse on top of having no certainty that the flights won't cancel on us before we get there, I'm sitting next to Jess TenHaken, a CANADIAN!!!
Please continue to pray for safe travels and USA men's hockey. USA vs Canada rematch tomorrow in semifinals. Go U.S.A.
Stay posted and God Bless
Praying for safe travels. Apparently the group is just not meant to have an easy time getting out of MN---we had flight delays and toilet water last year and now this!
ReplyDeleteSo thankful that you left earlier than planned. As difficult as the drive to MSP was, it would have been very treacherous if you'd waited until later. Lifting all of you up in prayer!
