I arrived safely on Hallelujah Flight 03102018. My flight was like none other I’ve ever experienced before. I thank God for pre-paid ticket purchased by my Savior Jesus Christ. I met people of all ages and ethnicities. The flight attendants were dressed in all white wearing crowns of Glory! The pilot was God Almighty and the Co-Pilot was the Son of God, my Savior, Jesus Christ. He announced, “All aboard. Welcome. This was a one-way, non-stop flight. Please disembark and pass through the pearly gates of Heaven, your eternal destination.”
