Leavin' On a Jet Plane

...I don't know when I'll be back again.

Haha, I love that song. I especially love the rendition done by the men in the film Armageddon. I was just thinking about that song and movie as I am getting my gear ready to head to Boston for Christmas. The more I think about it though, I love that movie.
There are so many great moments in that movie, and the ending jerks the tears out of me every time, but above everything else, my favorite scene of the movie was when Bruce Willis looked upon a group of astronauts getting ready to fly to an asteroid and, with his crew in mind asks,

"All they have to do is drill?"

You see, he already had the idea in mind that he was going to bring his men to this asteroid to perform the task of saving the world. Looking upon the men that the world would expect to perform the task, he shakes his head and knows in his heart that his men, oil rig men, were the ones that could best get it done.

I feel like one of those oil rig men sometimes. I feel like there are people so much better suited to take care of business in areas that God selects me for, yet I feel perfectly prepared for the ONE task He has for me at a time. It's never too much, but it's never too little. It takes everything I have to do each little task He lays out for me. I feel like He sees an opportunity for me to serve Him and others and pops a little grin saying,

"All he has to do is drill?"

Drilling,
Bobby
