We were in the lobby at our hotel chatting with John, turns out he was going to Uber to a local restaurant. We invited him to join us
And he did

This is John |
During our time together we learned a few things about this gentleman
First and most important, he loves Jesus.
He is a physician, in the area for a convention
Memories he shared, of God's protection and beyond
He was flying his own Cessna, to an airport near New York. He was half way there when he felt some jerking... the gas level showed almost empty. He had asked his crew to "fill er up", but apparently that did not happen. He called the airport and they directed him to a closer airport. However, that was still 20 miles away. He opened his mouth in prayer and for the next miles, no jerking, no sputtering... just a smooth ride until landing. He continued in thankful prayers.
Another flight experience, on a trip to Paris ( no, not in his Cessna ) A call was made for a doctor. A passenger was in labor. John is an orthopedic surgeon, but the only doctor on board. Soon a little fella was crying and the passengers cheered. The parents named this little fella, John, and every year on his birthday, they send him a bottle of expensive Bubbly
One more adventure, this time on a safari. The jeep came close to a very unhappy gorilla He had a broken arm. While John admitted he was not a vet, he tackled the job and made one gorilla very happy. For the rest of the trip, that gorilla would not leave his side.
Such stories bring encouragement to our hearts, and thanks to the great Physician.
I live an exciting life
