Fifty years ago today I was glued to the television set watching the
most amazing trek humankind had undertaken since Ferdinand Magellan
circumnavigated the globe in 1519 - the flight of Apollo 11 and the
first man to walk on the moon. The Apollo 11 crew consisted of Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin Buzz Aldrin.
This
plaque was attached to one of the Lunar Lander's legs. It remains there
on the moon to this day. I find it interesting that those words were
chosen while the Vietnam war was ragging.
What
an awesome view of our beautiful planet. The earth sure looks like a
welcoming place to visit in contrast to the appearance of the moon. From
here it looks so peaceful and alive. If we "came in peace" to such a
desolate and uninhabitable place like the moon, then why can't we live
in peace on earth?
Peace, Love, and Light through Jesus the Christ!
