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 #3: Doing Business in Coach?

Friday, February 15, 2008: 4:30 pm e.s.t.

We just finished our delicious dinner...I had the beef. Not too bad for food one might be served at 30K feet off the ground. I've been talking to the guy next to me, his name is John. I can't say too much about his plans on paper, since this paper is going into China, just that I discovered that the Bible in my bag should be fine. It started snowing in Detroit right after I got off the phone with you, but fortunately there were no delays. The stats of our trip that they run across the TV screen periodically said that we have about 10 hours and 18 minutes left until we land in Tokyo. I'm about 8-10 feet away from the television and it is a projected image about 32" diagonally. Can you tell that I'm a little bored? It's going to be very difficult to use the laptop in this cramped seating arrangement...I guess that's why they refer to the other section as "business" class, it's a bit hard to do any business back here in coach. I did bring those two Table Talk magazines too. I may read some of those later. I believe I would be best off falling asleep now if I could, because my neck is beginning to hurt.
