Also, QANTAS has never had a fatal crash.. ever. It's the only major international airline that can say that. :eek: And.... it stands for Queensland And Northern Territories Air Service :)

Qantas rocks....free everything...pillows, blankets, meals, drinks, snacks, a plethora of entertainment, WiFi, etc........The A-380 has almost a 100 meter wingspan and carries 323,000 liters of fuel in the wings....can carry up to 800 people (stripped) usually around 500 or so....Usually fly around 41,000 feet and about 850 KM an hour or so......
Wifi? That's incredible. I have never been on a plane which has wifi before. All of mine have told to use "Airplane mode" which is just crap and can't connect to the internet at all. I am not sure if I got a blanket with American Airlines, I defo got a comfy pillow, with Jet2, I don't remember them giving anything. But got free meals with American Airlines to the fight to America every 2 hours and during the flight home.

I have seen some people say they have like a personal tv thing in front of them on the back of seats which they can watch movies on with some airlines. I haven't had that yet, only 1 tv right in front with some rubbish soap programs on.

Hopefully I can share as well?

We were reading John 3 to our 7 year old daughter, and of course there was the part "You must be born again." So she says "How does that happen? Wait, I know, Jesus has to make that happen!" Then she kind of went "Huh, that's funny that I knew Jesus has to do it. How did I know that? That's funny that I knew that!" And she sat there and looked totally surprised wondering how she knew that, like it was granted to her from above to know this and she shocked herself. And us. Then we finished reading and prayed and she asked Jesus to help her "Know Him more better. "

Yes they do....every seat has it's own T.V. and head phones.....a list of like 300 movies, new, old, T.V. programs, music, video games, news etc.....Qantas even has a camera in the tail and you can look down on the plane as it flies or lands etc......very cool.

THE WIFI is new....so...we will see HAHAH...you can send text and receive text messages as well....was so much $ per message....now full WIFI on some planes

Thank you Jesus that one day the tragedy and pain will one day be gone.
That one day DC will see the two he has lost and that his disabled son will be set free and have a body that he will be able to run and jump and go to where ever he wants, and that he his siblings and dad will be able to do it together.

We thank you and love you Jesus for your promises to us and it is you that keeps them.

Imagine you are given a car, but have no money for petrol, have no
license to drive and the tyres are all flat.

You can boast I have a car, but it is of no use. It might as well be scrapped.
It is as good as dead, empty, useless. You can go out and use it to hold
meetings and pretend you go from one place to another or help you friends
with lifts.

This is faith with no love or obedience, saying you know Christ and continuing
in sin, having the form of faith but none of its power, and worse still having
no clue why it does not work.

Some guys are thinking if they all push the cars together they can all pretend
it is working and maybe more people will join.
I'd sell the car and use the money to catch a bus.

I hope you didn't mind what I posted.
I was so moved by your post and it laid my heart heavy. I am sure not as heavy as yours.

But I so felt led to pray that.

Its the hope we have, the truth we have been given and it's all thanks to Jesus.

Now I'm welling up.

My third child Lucy wants to sit in a library and read books all day.

I want to play golf, haven't been able to play for years now due to my arthritic knees.

See it's all about Jesus and focusing on Jesus.
On what he has done and it's him that keeps us.

I have to be very honest here.

If I had gone want DC has gone through I'm not sure I would be on a site like this.

Even though I say that I am sure that Jesus in me and me in Jesus would prevail.

He is greater than it all.

Worth a listen is the following.

If Magenta is around maybe she could do what she does for me with videos, as on the IPad it only posts the link.
