By Way of Sweden

Last Tuesday was normal … meeting with the Worship Team leadership, then time with the office staff, followed by doing of details from the weekend…then some concerning news that our friend George was to have emergency eye surgery; A little while later a call from Jeff; affirmation of “God’s assignment” from the Cheyenne Berean Elder Team that I should go as George's replacement; and the next Monday morning I am typing emails from Sweden with one more day of travel to New Delhi.

Because we had to make last minute travel plans we were not sure when Jeff and I would get together on the trip, most likely at Stockholm during an overnight layover in the heart of the city. But we asked the CBC family to pray that we meet in London and by God’s good grace and some fantastic Jeff-style negotiations at the ticket counter it happened with my deepest appreciation and great relief, particularly after experiencing getting to the hotel by way of a bus, a subway and several side streets!

We arrived at the Columbus Hotel of Stockholm; (see site on the internet) about 6:45 PM and we walked the shore of the island we were on in the heart of this wonderful national capital. We walked around for 3-4 hours that included a snack at MacD’s and then had supper at another MacD’s, (a Jeff tradition). The flight in was beautiful and I can see why my Swedish friends love this part of the world!
