Good Morning, God,
The headlines today are about folks who are "up in the air." These headlines are about folks who are intentionally up in the air, "'way out there," the astronauts in the space station. This is a special mission for them and for us, since it is the final shuttle mission - that fact is not "up in the air" - it is known for sure.
Lord ,we thank you for the men and women who over the years have allowed themselves to be "up in the air" for while. Please bring these particular people back down to earth safely and let us rejoice in the successful completion of the shuttle program. May future space exploration be both grounded and up in the air - "grounded" on solid science and engineering and "up in the air" because of the dreams and imaginations of minds that are shared.
Lord, may we all be grounded in good, solid things. May we know who you are and what you desire. May we know who we are, what we have to use, what we have to share and what our responsibilities are toward others. And, may we be grounded in the hope that when we feel ourselves "up in the air," it is you hand that is holding us up, your will guiding our orbit, and your love helping us get back to being grounded.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
