Just a visual taste of Sudan flying for your Monday morning courtesy of a fellow AIM AIR pilot Nate Killoren and www.ngkilloren.com. Have a great week, Brian
Art
To say that Art has had a rough life would be an understatement of epic proportions. Hard living, alcoholism, addictions, and child abuse are just the highlights. So, when my grandparents chose to take him in several years ago, when he had nowhere else to go, I honestly feared for their safety. I feared for [...]
Resignation
I don’t do “crazy”. Calculated yes, but not crazy. Crazy for me is left on the fringes, and for good reason: it just doesn’t belong in the world of air transportation. And I would assume that most of my passengers will agree. But…I quit my job. My current employer has been incredibly gracious [...]
From Brian’s Logbook
At some point during a professional pilots’ career it will happen; or so the statistics tell us. For me, it’s now been three times. You will lose a friend, a colleague, an aviator, to the unforgiving nature of the job and suddenly the romance of aviation fades into the horizon. The first time was almost [...]
U-Haul
Pack your bags we’re moving again! A few weeks ago when we were in New York I learned that AIM has their own blogging set-up! SO, rather than direct my blogging constituency through a secular organization, let’s pack up and head west…uh, north…uh…a new direction! We’re moving to AIMSites! Please join us there for the [...]
Tide Stick
We’ve been appointed! About 30 minutes ago we were informed that we have officially been accepted to Africa Inland Mission and are now handcuffed to the Missionary title. (No, that’s not always as derogatory as is sounds.) I felt as though I should share that first so that those of you who are not interested [...]
Warriors Welcome
For those of you keeping up with us daily, forgive me for neglecting you these past couple days. Satan is doing business here and I’m asking you to pray. We are tired, overwhelmed, sometimes frustrated and frequently fight confusion and it’s time to take it to the mat. Would you enter in on our behalf [...]
It’s like Grand Central Station around here!!
So if you want a synopsis of what New York City is like, here it is…it felt like home! Yeah – it feels like the home governed by a 3 year old and a 1 year old (and no, I’m not making any illusions to the politicians in NYC – I don’t even know who [...]
Grand Enterance
On special events one can never tell if it’s more appropriate to be fashionably late or perfectly punctual. Well, if you’re The Staples attending Candidate Week in New York, you would quite unintentionally decide to be obnoxiously early! That’s right – we arrived in Pearl River tonite at 5pm only to discover that our classmates [...]
Pre-schooler Theology
You learn a lot about theology when you have a three year old. Actually, you learn that theology is useless when you have a three year old. The only thing that matters to a pre-schooler is whatever you can tell in story form. Unfortunately, Dr. Seuss doesn’t have “Salvation over Green Eggs and Ham” or [...]
Cornerstone
Well well well…here we are at the first of many letters of opportunity! It feels so surreal that we are already at the place to start including others in this ministry to Africa (among many) – and from here, the doors will just start flinging open! We are scheduled to leave on August 10th for [...]
