Unspeakable Joy
“I just screamed. I was so happy. It was just pure elation and just a visceral, emotional reaction to not only being home, but people there coming to us and bringing us out — just unspeakable joy.” Reid Wiseman, Commander Artemis II Commander Wiseman, who said he is “not really a religious person,” may have…

Go to H-E-double hockey sticks!
I remember as kids that we would so loosely say this to each other in anger, not understanding what we were saying. “The demons kept begging Jesus not to send them into the bottomless pit.” Luke 8:31 (NLT) If I could pray one prayer for you beyond eternal salvation, it would be that you would…

Sixty Two
Sixty Two. 62! I have completed sixty-two years on this earth. The noise of those numbers keeps resonating in my mind. I approach my 63rd year with continued optimism. With expectation. With hope.
