The night was serene above the clouds, and I marveled at the sensation of flying. Just like angels, I thought, imagining them all around us.

I was with my friend David Wright, who was piloting a Beechcraft Bonanza back to our local airport in Fort Worth from Oklahoma, where we’d taken our pastor and his wife. We’d had a prayer service before we left Texas, and people told us they’d linger at the church for a while to pray some more.

“Bad weather reports,” they’d said. Although I was grateful for their prayers, there seemed no cause for alarm. Our flight was less than an hour, and I saw only calm on the horizon.

The lights of Dallas were bright as we landed at Love Field to refuel. “Any news about the weather?”

David asked the tower. The answer came back, “A-OK,” but we were airborne only 10 minutes when thunder rumbled and lightning pierced the sky. “Hold tight,” David said. “Just 25 miles and we’re home.” We bounced around like a leaf in the buffeting wind. Our heads were thrown against the canopy of the plane.
