Had this man not found the courage to fight back after being repeatedly attacked with an axe capable of cutting through metal—while bleeding profusely—and had the presence mind to trigger the hijack/emergency code, initiate the emergency response and open the cockpit door to allow passengers to assist him, the aircraft’s subsequent dive could have had catastrophic consequences.
Had that aircraft not been recovered, the geopolitical consequences for the Middle East could have been profound and potentially irreversible.
Sometimes history turns on the courage, resilience and presence of mind of one person.
Yes. One Indian man.
Stepping into this new year with a heart full of gratitude.
To everyone who celebrated me through your kind words, messages, prayers, and thoughtful gifts - thank you. Every gesture of love made my birthday truly special, and I’m so grateful for each of you.
Most of all, I’m thankful to God, the source of every good thing in my life. For His grace, His faithfulness, and countless blessings- both seen and unseen.
Thank You, Jesus, for the gift of another year.
I am also lighting a diya for Narendra Modi’s long life.
I want him to live for many more years, not for power, but so that he can face accountability for every wrongdoing, answer the people of India, and serve the punishment prescribed by law.
Let justice have its day. Every Indian wants him Jail!
“…they got relief from their enemies, and as the month that had been turned for them from sorrow into gladness and from mourning into a holiday...” ~Esther 9:22 ESV #newmonth
I have been on a plane before. The moment it takes off the ground, everything starts to look smaller, and as the altitude increases, some things eventually disappear from view. In the same way, when you rise above your circumstances, increase your altitude and you begin to see things differently.

His love never fails. And because His love is upon you, you will see His goodness in your land.
