It's been several years since my husband and I were students here at

BYU. We loved attending these Tuesday morning

devotionals and we are thrilled to be with you today. We love you and

appreciate your desire to become more like the Savior. While my husband and I

served as mission leaders in North Carolina.

We traveled by plane to a mission leadership conference in Atlanta, Georgia.

If you have ever been on an airplane, you know that unless you are sitting in a first class seat, you get caught in a jam at the front of

the plane while waiting for others to move to their seats in the back.

Our seats were not in first class, but we were stopped in the aisle next to a woman who was.

I couldn't help but overhear her loud and frantic cell phone conversation with

someone she obviously trusted. It went something like this. I know you know how

scared I am to fly.

What if something happens to the plane?

So she listened to the person on the other side of the conversation and then responded,

I mean it.

I'm so nervous.

Wait a minute.

Jesus Christ is standing right next to me.
