Fascination Calls
Eyes looking skyward
Symphony’s rhythm
Galaxy sparkles
Night’s algorithm
Trying to focus
Heavens lighting up
Fascination calls
Universe close-up
Each night different
Constellations speak
Billions of voices
Infinite mystique
Chasing one starship
Courageous and bold
Man’s final frontier
Destiny unfolds
Distant cosmos soars
Beyond any star
Hyperspace journey
Dreams traveling far
Beyond today’s world
Young boy’s mind takes flight
Ancient comets glow
Rivers filled with light
A young lad dreams of space travel as he enters grade school in the early 1960s. Images of astronauts and space capsules begin an adventure. Building models of the Apollo spacecraft tags along with “Star Trek” and more. As a mature adult, the journey continues.

Paying Every Cost
From Matthew 4:16-17: “The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, and for those who sat in the region and shadow of death light has dawned.”
Beneath ocean’s depths
Hearing whispers of hope
God’s mercy always reigns
Transforming life’s scope
Atop mountain peaks
Echoing faith sings out
God’s righteousness descends
Removing all doubt
Across each valley
Lasting hymns, filled with pride
God’s nurturing love acts
Sending grace, Son guides
Throughout darkest world
Navigating light now leads
Christ’s faithful message calms
Healing’s peace proceeds
From Calvary’s cross
Searching for sheep, now lost
Good Shepherd never fails
Paying every cost
From Hebrews 13:20-21: “Now may the God of peace, who brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, make you complete in everything good so that you may do His will, as He works among us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever. Amen.”

Martha Washington Quotes
We carry the seeds of happiness with us wherever we go.
The greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances.
Martha Washington (1731-1802) was American’s first lady when her husband, George Washington served as the nation’s first President. She proved to be a worthy partner with her husband, as she frequently remained at the front lines during the American Revolutionary War and also managed his affairs at home while he served as Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army.
