a greater POWER
What represents the greatest power today – a president, a multinational, a nuclear bomb, gravity, the sea, the wind? Greater than all of these was that felt by the eighth man to walk on the moon:
‘The Earth reminded us of a Christmas tree ornament hanging in the blackness of space. As we got farther and farther away it diminished in size. Finally it shrank to the size of a marble, the most beautiful marble you can imagine. That beautiful, warm, living object looked so fragile, so delicate, that if you touched it with a finger it would crumble and fall apart. Seeing this has to change a man, has to make a man appreciate the creation of God and the love of God. I felt the power of God as I’d never felt it before’ – James Irwin
