Last night we were all sitting around at my christian ministry( Auburn Christian Fellowship) and one of my friends turns towards me knowing that I have an unbelieveable passion that was sown in my heart 10 years ago. When I looked over into an eye piece and saw the craters of the moon and later the Venusian clouds, a marriage was formed between me and space explorartion and my friend says, "As a Christian why don't you think we should focus all our attention towards Africa and feeding the poor and making crops that can grow through drought instead of trying to go to the Moon and Mars." So I replied, Cause Man came out the cave and looked over the hill and discovered fire that kept them warm, cause pilgrams jumped on a boat crossed an ocean and found a land that gives more than any nation that has ever exisited, cause those piligrams took west and allowed for that giving nation to grow and create trains that deliver food to the masses and airplanes that take missionaries to the front lines, cause those piligrams motivated us to take to the sky, in which we found plastics that keeps those food products that christians send to the less fortunate from spoiling. It's a good thing I had a predetermine answer for that question, because I don't think I could have came up with that within the moment. Too often we shrink God and believe that he thinks like us but the truth is he overt thinks us to achieve his glory. What does India and Neil Armstrong have in common? When Neil was on his way to the moon he need a new age filter to provide him with water. There are countless people in India that drink of clean water from their polluted rivers because of American ambition. Only a god as big as ours could foresee what he saw and intermix a man's passion with thirsty lips in the Eastern portion of the world. The solutions that we search for here on the Earth can't be solved in the same enviorment in which that were created. We can't sit in the cave and pray for heat,We must step out of the shadows and peer over the hill to find Fire! We shouldn't walk to the Atlantic costline and say I hope to find a land of religious Tolerance, We should faithful sail towards it! We shouldn't let the great rivers of life seperate us from the other bank, we should cross it and pioneer the West! We shouldn't stop at the Moon because what lies between us and Mars may save lives! Maybe it'll be a crop that can grow with less water than used before, a shelter that can within stand the strongest winds of a Hurricane, or hold back the floods of a Typhoon, there may lie the next great medical invention, a cure for cancer, a cure for diabetes, and Aids, for Apollo gave us the CAT scanner that discovers cancerous cells. It's so much to be discovered and we hold so little knowledge of it and the only way it may be found is by leaving the safety of Earth, venturing farther than we have before all in the name of FAITH. For being satisfied with what we have discovered compared to what is still out there, is like sticking a cup in the ocean and saying I have all of the ocean within my hand! Ladies and Gentlemen the cave has been left, the ocean has been conquered, the west has been settled and the glass ceiling has been punctured and the moon has been touched.Let us continue to break the walls down!
May GOD Bless you and May GOD Bless these Great States of America!
I heard an interesting quote one time "Look at God through a telescope instead of a microscope." This post totally made me think of that! :) Loved it!
