Romans 5:7-9

For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die—but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.

Mysterious China: entry #2: Food in Flight

Friday, February 15, 2008: 1:50 pm e.s.t.

Melissa,

I just talked to and Jeffrey and I think it finally hit me that I am actually going to China. As I sit here on the plane at the Detroit airport, I think that many of the passengers are Japanese, and certainly most are Asian (we are connecting to Beijing through Tokyo). I'm seated in the middle section of seats, one from the aisle. There are three sections across the width of the plane: three seats by the window, four in the middle, and three seats by the window on the other side of the plane. The attendants just passed out menus for the in flight meals. There are two meals and a snack: dinner which consists either of beef strips with black bean sauce, white rice and a veggie mix, or roast chicken breast with pepperonata sauce, mashed potatoes, and a veggie mix. We then have a mid-flight snack, and then breakfast: a buttermilk biscuit with sausage egg and cheese, or fresh fruit, muffin and orange juice, or fried rice with Teriyaki pork. I just thought about the Bible I have in the laptop bag...I don't suppose anyone in Chinese customs will consider it dangerous.
