So what am I saying? I'm saying we have no food, except what little we had in the cockpit with us. We've got lots of water though. Now, since it's Good Friday, that's really not such bad news. The AWACS up in the sky informs us that the rest of the squadron will be here tomorrow.
The good news? We've got the hangar all to ourselves and Webster had tonight's film stashed in our baggage tank. As such, we've taken the liberty of setting up the screen for tonight's movie right here in the hangar bay after dinner. (I've got an apple, Webster has some Fig Newtons, bring what you have to share!) Is it right to even watch a movie on Good Friday? I ran it by the chaplain over at mainside and he said that, given our selection, it wouldn't be wrong. If you care to join us, it is the 1965 classic The Greatest Story Ever Told.
Starring Max von Sydow as Jesus, Charlton Heston as John the Baptist, and an all-star cast. This family-friendly movie takes us through the life of Christ from his baptism, ministry, death and resurrection. As the good folks over at IMDb say,
"My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken Me?"It is towards this climactic crossroads that the story of Jesus of Nazareth leads, and to which, at the final moment, it again looks back in triumphant retrospect. It is the anguishing crossroads where the eternal questions of faith and doubt become resolved.
Have a look at the trailer, and we hope to see you in the hangar bay at 20:00 for "chow" and 21:00 for the film. Webster, Allison, and I invite you to enjoy the film and have a blessed Easter weekend. As always, we appreciate your support, and thank you for flying YIMC Airlines.
