“Terminal” – what does that mean?

Apr 9th “Terminal” – what does that mean?

Something that I had heard today… – has me thinking – – and wondering what does the word “Terminal” mean to others – in the many different ways that this particular word can be used and … or is used – – that we use it … do we really have any ideas? – – -Give thought to this situation!

At the “Airport Terminal” – – have to take off shoes and hand over purse – and all of the contents must be xrayed … for an old “Grandma” – as if I would try to take onto the plane something – that is not allowed, today? I can hardly carry all of “myself ” in and onto anything – as this “old bag of bones” – she just isn’t what she used to be???

Well, we – all sit and wait – that is until everybody is ready to fly – that is we must wait for some very young people – and they seem to think that the “whole wide world” should just sit and wait – till they mosey on over and present their selves and their baggage??? More valuable “TIME” for us senior citizens – is wasted because we must hurry up and wait – for the young who do not have any “get-up” and go!??

Now we are in the plane and it looks like – all the skies are blue and beautiful – – and we will soon “sail” quickly to our destination! We are not on the plane “twenty-five” minutes when – – the “PILOT” is on the intercom – – there is a very “serious situation” and we must “now” make a landing immediately!?!?

Another message … comes through – “be sure that – there are no loose items that could fly around inside the plane ” – just in case… – – “we do need to land right away!” “Everyone – be prepared to land on the “belly” of the plane – – as the landing gear will not descend?”

“Will everyone be sure that your seat belts are on – and tight – next… bend forward… putting your head between your knees?” Just before I put my head down – – thought that – I had better take a last look outside – – just to see what I can see – – in case – that – I am not going to survive this situation??? It dawns on me – that I must have been “LOT’s WIFE” in the BIBLE – you remember… her – she just had to see what was going on when she could hear all of the “thunder and lighting” and noises that would indicate – – that even though we are leaving this wicked “city” we may not be able to leave and live – – in another land, wherever we are headed – so, all of history – knows what happened to “nosy” me??

“Everyone – with your head tight between your knees – NOW – grab hold of your ankles and keep that position … – until we land!” “We are close to the ground and there are plenty of ambulances – fire-trucks and all kinds of other emergency vehicles headed to where … they expect for us to land!??”

“Everyone of us … will receive excellent care – as you will be taken from the plane – – each and everyone will be taken to the… “TERMINAL” and …no one has anything to worry about … – you – all of us … that is… we will be given emergency care – – and the very best and safest of medical help is going to be there … just for us … – DO – – – NOT – WORRY!”
