Welcome to follow him favorites.

This is where John and I share a single story to go with each week's lesson.

John, we are in Moses chapter 8, Genesis chapter 6 through 11 this week and come follow me.

I know you have a perfect story.

I know you're excited about it and I want to hear it.

There's a verse in Moses 8, verse 27, talks about Noah. It says, he walked with God as also his three sons, Shim, Ham, and Japeth.

And just this imagery of walking with God. Life is hard, but boy, when somebody's walking with you. And Hank, I love this story because

it has three things that make a story great. It has airplanes, courage, and airplanes. Here's what I

love about this story. Okay. I met Colonel Gordon Weed actually got to sit in his living room and

talk with him and his wife.

He was about my dad's age, went to high school with my dad, but he didn't know and my dad was not a

member, Gordon was. But he flew in World War II and later he flew in Vietnam.

Your airplane lovers out there, look up an A37 dragonfly. It's a Cessna, but it's side by side and this thing is loaded for bear.

Well, he is in this jet. He's got a wingman. He hears on the radio, sir, I'm on fire.

And he looks over and the front of this jet is all flames. The other jet, it's in flames. Gordon Weed has this incredibly powerful

spiritual impression come over him that says, don't let him eject. He's calling to the other pilot

saying, oh, wait a minute. He says, I'm saying things. I'm going to get court-martialed. Oh, wait,

you're not smoking. And he said, what a stupid thing to say. You're not smoking. I just make any sense. But he said, I knew I had to keep him in there. This wingman said, Roger, that, sir, but it's getting hot as heck in here. Check your bleed air, your bleed valve. if he's telling him all this stuff. He just knew he had to keep him in there.

They could not figure out in these seconds.

This is happening really fast.

Where would the flame be coming from the front?

Because the fuel tanks are in the wings.
