After a long day's work inside the Cupola removing bolts and a 6 hour spacewalk to remove the cover from the outside, Terry finally opened the window on the world. I have to confess to tears when I read his email this morning. He said that the overpowering majesty and beauty of the Earth left him humbled and speechless. There were simply no words to describe the panoramic view of the beautiful earth that the Lord has given us. All the astronauts, including the spacewalkers, were floored by the view. Only one verse comes to my mind as I try to envision it, "This is what the Lord says, he who made the earth, the Lord who formed it and established it-the Lord is his name. 'Call to me and I will answer you and show you great and unsearchable things you do not know,'" Jer 33:2-3.
Praise be to our God ~ Creator!!! Great verse to share, Stacy. I am so full of joy that God has wowed Terry in this very special mission. I'm wowed from earth! I can't even imagine what Terry and the crew are feeling.
