Non-stop Flight

I’ve been trying to book a January vacation to Cancun, and have been searching for a non-stop flight.  In my opinion, non-stop is the only way to go.  No worries about missing a connecting flight, lost luggage or other problems that accompany multi-stop voyages.  I’m so sold on non-stop, that cheapskate me is willing to pay the extra cost that accompanies it.  While there may be those who like checking out other airports, I know that any additional layovers can lead to problems, and keep me from reaching my goal of being on the beach in less than 4 hours from St. Louis.  Believe me, I speak from experience.

 There are plenty of options to choose on Orbitz, Expedia or any of the other travel sites.  They tease you with cheap package prices, but you have to look closely to see why.  It can be less expensive because the flight takes 23 hours, and you lose a whole day of sunshine and all-inclusive living!

 Thomas, he of doubting fame, had the opportunity to question Jesus about the non-stop, one way to heaven.  Jesus had just told the disciples that he was going to be leaving soon to prepare a place for them.  Thomas wasn’t sure where this place was, nor how to access it from the Jerusalem airport, so “Thomas said to Him, "Lord, we do not know where You are going, how do we know the way?" Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.” John 14:5-6.  In essence Jesus was telling Thomas, and all of us in turn, that the only sure way to the quintessential all-inclusive, Heaven, is through him. The most perfect non-stop, one way flight we will ever book.

Sure, the world offers us endless options, but when you check into them closer you’ll discover the convoluted, out of the way path they will take you on, only to arrive at the wrong place.  Trust Jesus on this one, no matter what good-sounding deals you may come across, and best of all the fare has already been paid for you!
