Phase II day 2
Isaiah 40:31 took action today as "those who hope in the Lord... will soar on wings like eagles" the verse doesn't go on to say that eagles were created to fly, and they don't get sick when they pull 2G's in a 60* bank, 1000' @ 200 knots. Thats not extreme even compared to the log ride, but it was enough to make me yak. Other than that the flight was awesome, and I was able to maintain positive control of my wits, with a confident attitude even when confused (hard for me at times). Taxing was much easier (which was impossible yesterday) and I'll fly again tomorrow with a chance of redemption. Another guy in my sister flight is a former civilian instructor and he puked too, friends in classes ahead of me said the first few flights will do that and then you get used to it, so I'm not worried at all, even though some people (very few) eventually do wash out due to airsickness. My devotional this morning was actually about being in humiliating low points that help us 1) develop true character 2) evaluate our relationship with God 3) use for point of ministry later. Good times.

I'm glad you admit to enjoying Top Gun as a child, because as I'm reading your blog, I regularly have to stop and think "This is Jordan, not Maverick."
