Up, Up in the Air

As I think about the Lord's Ascension that we celebrate this week, I think of the return of space shuttle Endeavor with pilot Mark Kelly's whose wife, Congresswoman Giffords, is miraculously recovering from being shot. My wife and I met them at a conference in Charleston a few years ago, really nice. Many grieve their pain and share their excitement. The excitement of space, of medicine and of hope that Christ goes ahead of us to prepare a place far above.
