It's out there.


I like to think of myself of a logical person and I also like to think I am not the only logical person, but what am I missing here?

My husband works for a company and is a GPS specialist.  He works with companies to ensure they are using GPS effectively to do things like building roads, highways and bridges.  BUT, his company, like many others, also has a GPS tracking system on his work vehicle.  Why?  Because if something goes wrong, they can find the vehicle.  FedEx, UPS, armored car companies all do it to ensure their products are protected. 

Let's talk money.  My husband's work vehicle is worth about $20K with nothing in it.  A FedEx truck could have millions of dollars of merchandise and precious material.  An armored car, again, could be millions.  An airplane costs millions and can carry millions. 

Let's talk people.  My husband's work vehicle carries precious cargo (him) and maybe 4 more people max.  A FedEx truck, don't know, maybe 2-3.  Armored car, probably about the same.  A plane, anywhere from 2 to 239 to even more people. 

WHY on earth, in an industry that transports millions of PEOPLE, aren't systems like this in place?  We have airlines fighting to have the best in flight entertainment (IFE) services...heck; there is even an award for the best IFE.  How about an award for the airline who can find their own lost planes?  You can't tell me that the technology doesn't exist.  You better not tell me it’s too expensive. Trust me, its out there! 

I pray for those families who are still looking.  I pray for those who are lost.  I pray for change in an industry that touches the world, makes business happen, brings families together and makes everything possible.  In prayer, I simply keep going.
