The space shuttle flight this week shows how far we have come in science and engineering skills-- and also how far we need to go--if any meaningful space exploration is going to be done.
Within the paper thin atmosphere of our planet exists all the water, food, and oxygen needed to support our human life form. But once we separate ousselves from that nurturing environment, we will surely die without an artificial means of supplying our needs.
This same fact is true within our spiritual life. As long as we remain close to our source of eternal life, "GOD", baptism, sacraments,and salvation's grace --we will also wither up and die an even more horrifying death--spiritual demise.
Just as the shuttle crew must be vigilant in obeying the laws of physics in order to survive--we all must obey the laws that "GOD" provided for us as a means of spiritual life. The shuttle crew members right now are addressing a critical flaw in some foam insulation that could mean disaster and physical death. The crew and support staff are all working the problem with the hope that needed repairs can be made allowing the shuttle and its crew to live to see another day.
We all must also be vigilant and aware of our spiritual condition. When flaws are discovered, we too must work the problem in order to survive and join our Father in heaven.
If we all took our spiritual health and condition as seriously as we do the mortal health of our physical existance life on both levels would be much brighter than it usually is.
The physical and spiritual laws are rigid with defined boundaries neccessary and just. If we stay within the boundaries all is well---hoever whenever we push the envelope and move outside the protection of those laws--disaster is at hand.
Enough said Yodi, let's take a nap.
