I attended the balloon fiesta in Albuquerque New Mexico. It’s a magnificent scene when hundreds of balloons lift off. When I get up there I really feel close to God. Have you taken your balloon to Albuquerque? It will be October 2-10 this year. \\ Flying Phil // That is a beautiful balloon you have there. I attended the balloon fiesta in Albuquerque New Mexico.

When a person has complete faith, they feel it... they know it‘s there... just as we can feel the wind pushing us in a specific direction. But, just like the wind, we might not be able to SEE the tangible element of our faith, even though we know it’s there. If someone said, “I can’t see the wind so I don’t believe it exists,” we would say they are crazy. We might tell them, “But look at the effect of the wind. Isn’t that proof of it’s existence?” They respond, “How do we know it’s the wind and not just something else?” There are always people that scoff at faith. Unfortunately, we tend to let them dampen our faith too easily. When a person has strong faith they know exactly the cause and effect whether others recognize it or not. When our faith blows us in a certain direction, we would be wise to go with the direction of our faith (wind) rather than fight it. When we fight our wind of faith, we find the struggle so much harder and more intense. Perhaps we should pay attention to our faith... feel our faith... and follow it. Just like the wind, it's pushing us in a certain direction. Maybe we just need to follow that direction and fly. Let it take us to spectacular heights!! Our wind of faith can help us go sailing waaaaaaay up there! :-) The wind is much like faith.

We built our own, some of which flew very well while others didn't get off the ground. Great memories nonetheless. I hope to take the kids someday on a balloon ride. It looks glorious and peaceful. God bless. Timothy. Hello Mrs. Decker, flying kites was a tradition when I was a kid. We built our own, some of which flew very well while others didn’t get off the ground.
