“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Monday; July 14, 2008

                                     

           During the Viet Nam War, Captain Charlie Plumb was forced to eject from his fighter jet into enemy territory.  While Captain Plumb ended up as a POW for several years, because he safely parachuted to the ground he has served as an inspiration to thousands of people. 

         Several years after Captain Plum was freed from captivity, he was approached by a man said, “I packed your parachute.   Looks like I did a pretty good job!”.  Captain Plumb agreed and for the last couple decades has challenged people by asking “Who’s parachutes are we packing?”  You see, that seaman on Kitty Hawk took the time to do his job right and because of it, thousands of people have been impacted by a story of survival and hope. 

         As we interact with people, are we providing them with the foundational needs they have to make this world a better place?  The Bible reminds us, “… encourage one another, and build up one another …” (I Thessalonians 5:11) because we just never know how our figurative parachute-packing might save one life or impact thousands! 

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
