The pilot came on the intercom and announced that our attendants for the flight would be Jacqueline and Kennedy. Some humor was involved in the statement. A lady was sitting beside me, and I wanted to add to the humor, so I stated, “I never thought I’d be flying with Jacqueline Kennedy.”
I felt a coldness in the cabin and realized she probably had not heard the captain and thought I was being fresh. I knew I shouldn’t dig the hole any deeper, so I looked out the window the rest of the trip, thankful that I would never see her again. The following verses come to mind:
1 Thessalonians 4:11
And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business
Exodus 14:14
The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.
Proverbs 10:8
The wise of heart will receive commandments, but a babbling fool will come to ruin.
I was sure glad when I had a flight with a seat by myself. Some meditation was in order. I gave it some thought. Will you?
