The Olympic Torch continues its journey. 8000 miles with 8000 torch bearers. I am a watcher of sequences. I like this sequence. Linked to this is the 8.8 million kilometres Evelyn Johnson flew in her lifetime. 

She died on 10 May aged 102. That is a milestone in itself, but she racked up 57,635.4 hours of flying (the record for a woman, second longest in history). She trained over 5000 pilots, and at 92 became the worlds oldest flight instructor. 

At 101 she said, "I don't know if anybody loves it [flying] more than I do.... I've flown that long because God has been kind as to let me."

[[Quoted from Time Magazine May 28, 2012, page 11]]

An unknown lady to most of the world, but she prepared so many pilots, who flew so many planes, which carried so many passengers, which benefitted so many lives. An unknown lady to most of the world!

That sounds like you and me; an unknown person to most of the world. But what if we dared to make a difference? What if we sought the presence of God so much that we were moved to share Jesus with others; 8, 18, 88, over 8000?

I don't know who you are. Who will read this shared thought, but I want you to know that I prayed for you today. 

Join with me in seeking the presence of God. Your future depends on it. Someone else's future may depend on it too. 

When you get the chance to share your faith think on this, you have been given time in your life to seek God because God has been so kind as to let you.
