I have many questions, especially when the result doesn’t play out as I hoped. So, during my visit with my homeless friend, I stopped myself from overanalyzing our talk and remembered I had to stop trying to force the outcome or change what God is doing through someone else’s life.

Baptist minister and inventor Burrell Cannon (1848 – 1922) led some Pittsburg investors to establish the Ezekiel Airship Company and build a craft described in the Biblical book of Ezekiel. The ship had large, fabric-covered wings powered by an engine that turned four sets of paddles. It was built in a nearby machine shop and was briefly airborne at this site late in 1902, a year before the Wright brothers first flew. Enroute to the St. Louis World’s Fair in 1904, the airship was destroyed by a storm. In 1913 a second model crashed, and the Rev. Cannon gave up the project. (1976) --Historical marker #9794
