Just a week

This has been an extraordinary week for me, capped off by a near disaster in the air.

As I was on the second leg of my flight into Knoxville, TN, which was supposed to be the uneventful, half-hour flight from Atlanta, I noticed that the plane, instead of just touching down, began circling the airport. Then, after we had circled it yet again, and we finally touched down, I noticed all the fire trucks and ambulances to either side of us. The landing was a little rough, but not compared to many flights I had been on. And it was then that the Captain got on the intercom and told us there was a problem with the landing gear, and they would be towing us back to the airport. Well that half-hour flight ended up taking an hour and a half. But you know what was really remarkable? Not one passenger complained (including the kid riding in the seat behind me), and no one seemed nervous nor upset over the incident.

Well, so now I'm for the moment safe, and ready for my medical leadership two-day conference. And I am thankful to God that I can get back to my vocation, as well as my avocation in one piece
But that brings me to tell you that you only have a week left in the great Heir of Drachma giveaway. That's right it's just until the stroke of midnight (?Central Time, ?GMT) 6/25/2015, and so far it's going great, but you really don't want to lose out to all the readers with 50,000 books on their to read list, do you?

And I guess it would have been a moot point if that potential air disaster had occurred. Hmm...
