Cagle Grams: Departure time

James H. Cagle Guest Columnist “For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand” (2 Timothy 4:6 KJV). If we have flown on a commercial airline, we know that a departure time is when the passengers board the plane, and the plane leaves the runway to meet its arrival time at another airport. We all, as individuals, have a departure time for leaving this life and this planet and reaching our final destination. We do not know our departure time; only God knows that. We may, however, because of our situation, know that our departure time is drawing very near. Sometimes people miss their flight's departure time at the airport. Bu
