Boeing

This afternoon we went for a drive as a family. Mark gave us a driving tour of where he used to work way before I even knew him. Mark didn't work for Boeing but he did work for an electrical company that worked on many projects for Boeing. As we drove around the Boeing campus it got me thinking about jobs. How blessed we are that Mark has a job and that we live in an area that is overflowing with opportunity. My Grandpa Jack retired from Boeing years ago and my mom worked at Boeing for a few years before she was married. When living in this area it's hard not to know someone who works for Boeing or at least used to work for them. It's amazing to see this HUGE plant and think about all the jobs that are created here. It's amazing to think how many families depend on Boeing for their income. But truly who should we be depending on for our every need? Our employer? Our investments? Our family? Our self? No!! We need God and only God!! He knows what we need and if we surrender our entire life over to Him then we can rest each night not worrying about if we will have a job tomorrow or not. "And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19 This picture is neat because that is the Boeing Dreamlifter sitting right there next to one of the many employee parking lots. Here is a optical illusion of sorts. This parking lot looks like it goes up to the building in the background. But really there is a freeway in between that building and this parking lot. There's an overpass that connects the two sides of the Boeing plant and this parking lot. The big Dreamlifter jet is on our side of the freeway and has to actually drive across the overpass to enter into the hangers. The blue part of the building that you can see are the HUGE doors that the airplanes drive through. Here you can see the overpass and the freeway. Wouldn't it be neat to be driving on the freeway while an airplane is driving above you?

This picture is another one from the freeway and a optical illusion. This building doesn't look that different then most typical industrial buildings.....until you look closely and notice the size of that bus compared to the big blue doors and if you look really closely you can see the tiny cars parked near by. This is where the airplanes go to have their stress tests done. They were actually working on a plane as we drove by. I hope it passed!Then as we were driving through another parking lot this is what we saw. The tail of the planes peaking over the top of the blast shields. Then in the picture below was the sign posted on our side of the blast shields. This was just another typical employee parking lot we were driving through. Can you imagine just going to work finding your parking spot and WHAM! the engines go on? I guess you would have to plan your hairdos accordingly. Then the best view we saw from the Boeing plant was of Mt. Rainer. God's creation is just amazing!
