When
Astronaut, Allen Shepherd was preparing to make his first space
flight, He was in a news conference and a reporter asked him
It
was a legitimate question – the reporter asked,
“Mr.
Shepherd, what are you depending on in this flight?”
Now,
I’m sure that the reporter didn’t mean the question the way Allen
Shepherd answered it –
but
it was asked never-the-less in a way that prompted Allen Shepherd to
say, (and it’s a classic) he said,
“I’m
depending on the fact that God’s laws will not change.”
When
you’re getting ready to go into space…
and
when your survival and your return to earth…
depends
upon all of these laws that God put into place… and staying in
place while you’re up there…
It’s
pretty important to trust in the fact,
To
depend upon the fact – with your life – that God’s laws will
not change
