Last weekend I spoke at Shadow Mountain Community Church Bible Conference, so I brought my grandson Elijah (and his dad) a couple of days early for a little R & R. It was Elijah’s first airplane trip (since he was a baby), and the pilot let him sit in the cockpit before takeoff. The next day we were airborne again for a helicopter tour over San Diego. The next day was most special of all for Elijah — we went to the zoo and had his picture made with his favorite animal, a cheetah. Sunday we were at Shadow Mountain and I took Elijah in to meet Dr. David Jeremiah in the Green Room, but Elijah was distracted by the coffee cake and donuts on the hospitality table. He tolerated the picture just long enough to tackle the goodies like a pro.
