Come and See...

We started our two-day journey toward Tehran with a late flight from Atlanta. After a brief stop in Detroit, we began making our way to Amsterdam. We won't get there until tomorrow morning, so for now, we're simply en route for the next many, many hours. As we checked in with Northwest, the ticket agent (who couldn't help but notice our destination) offered to say a prayer with us. As one in our group said, "If we needed any confirmation that we were supposed to be going, I think we just got it!" Amen to that.

Given the political climate, our whole adventure reminds me of Philip's word to Nathanael (John 1:14): "Come and See." Enough people have given us this message, so away we go...
