Border Patrol

Touch down at Heathrow airport in London.  I made it safely to my destination.  It was a good flight, there was hardly anyone on the flight so I had a row of seats all to myself.  My guitar, which should have been checked at the gate, was stored in the first class cabin.  I think I prefer the overnights too.

But when I got to the border, it all changed.  I was detained for about 3 hours being questioned, finger-printed, and had all my bags searched.  Even though I did nothing wrong, you can't help but feel like a criminal.  Through it all, God gave me grace not to freak out or get angry.  But instead, being filled with peace and patience I was able to endure without losing my cool. 

Thank you Jesus.
