Venting begins now...

For the past few days I have been speaking and doing some other consultation type stuff at First Baptist West Palm Beach. Had a great trip. Several teenagers were saved and I had a blast...

Until, I got to the airport. I arrived at the airport in WPB at 9 AM to find out that a bunch of people in London had apparantly tried to kill thousands of people on airplanes using their chapstick, toothpaste, lotion, hairspray, gel, and anything else they could get their hands on that was made out of some type of liquid. As a result, they made me put my bag (normally a carry on) under the plane. This annoyed me because Memphis takes 25 years to get your luggage off the plane and onto that spinny thing inside the airport. I finally make it up to the gate and they announce that our plane is going to be 3 hours late. There are some people who will wait 3 hours for their plane to arrive...I am not one of those people. I went to another gate and convinced the lady to reroute me through Cincinatti so that I could still get to Memphis around the same time. She assured me that my luggage had been taken care of and that it would be waiting on me when I arrived in Memphis. I believed her and went on my way. Several hours later I actually arrived in Memphis. I went down to the baggage claim to claim my luggage and it was definately not there. This is a major hassle but to make it worse (because it was intended to be a carry on) my car keys were in the inside pocket of my suitcase. As a result, I had to call my Geico people and get them to send out a locksmith to get me in my car since I did happen to have a spare key in my glove box. Everything worked out pretty well - except for the fact that I am still waiting on my bag to arrive. Moral of the story - be careful when you are putting on lotion, chapstick, or washing your hair - because it is quite possible that you could accidentally blow up your face.
