For the past 6 months I have been following the tweets of Colonel Douglas Wheelock as he circled the earth in the space station ISS Cupola. He constanly sent pictures back to earth of our beautiful planet from space and sometimes even his thoughts as he saw the sights of earth. Today he, along with his Russian counterpart and a female astro have been strapped into the space shuttle and are hurtling through space and back home for Christmas. These
are the words he posted before his departure -
'Be strong enough to know when you are weak...brave enough to face yourself when you are afraid
never substitute words for actions.
Learn to stand up in a storm but have compassion on those who fall.
Always have a heart that is clean, and a goal that is high.....learn to laugh but never forget how to weep......
until we meet again'
He also said 'leave a light on I'm coming home' We will, God's speed Doug and thank you.
