Up, Up, And Away
By Mark Flippo
Hot air balloons usually cruise at an altitude of 500 - 1.000 feet above ground. Many balloon flights occur between 50 and 2,000 feet above the ground, but balloons can fly at treetop level or go much higher. Once the balloon reaches 12,500 feet, oxygen is required. Since balloon flights require specific weather conditions, flights generally occur at sunrise or just before sunset when the winds are the lightest. If wind speed at the time of launch is more than 7 miles an hour, it is too dangerous to fly. Other weather conditions such as rain, fog, or thunderstorms within 100 miles, will keep the balloons on the ground for safety reasons. The child should be 42” tall or about 8 years old.
How many of you have wanted to try this? I know I have! Some people may feel closer to God. Maybe it gives them a time away from the struggles of life. Let's them forget their problems for a moment. For me I just enjoy flying even though I have never tried this kind of flying before.
Isn't God wonderful to share the know how on so many things! He brightens our lives with incredible wonder and excitement. If you have become jaded with all that life has sent your way. Pray and ask God to help you get out of that line of thinking and rediscover the joy and excitement that there is all around you. I am praying that Jesus will open your understanding. Open your eyes to see like a child again. Full of amazement and joy!
