Close The Heart Then Close The Window


My wife and I flew from DFW to Portland OR Wednesday.  We had the two inside seats on a three-seat row.  A young man, maybe 30, came on the plane and claimed his widow seat next to us.  As soon as he sat down he closed his window shade and plugged up his iPad.  For the next four hours he played video games or slept while flying over some of the most beautiful country in the world, Mt. Hood, Mt. Rainer, Mt. Saint Helens come to mind.  I have never flown this route but I knew what I was missing.  I wonder how long ago this young man’s heart was closed before he closed his window to the world yesterday?
