Vantage Point

January 4

There is a full moon as I walk around the neighborhood. I muse how the ancients viewed this same moon, fearing it and even worshiping it.

John Glenn, the first American to orbit our planet and have a moon’s-eye- view of earth, takes another trip 36 years later. Now 77, Glenn catches the world’s attention on his "flag lap" around earth. Walter Cronkite is back to report the event and the Australians light up their country for Glenn, as they did in 1962.

From space Glenn says, "Looking at the Earth from this vantage point, looking at this kind of creation and to not believe in God, to me, is impossible."

What say you?

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." (Genesis 1:1)
