Good morning on this Saturday, September 24th. "What goes up must come down" is an oft repeated statement. Did you ever wonder what could ultimately happen to those many satellites orbiting around the earth? Well this week we got an answer with the warning from NASA that some 26 pieces representing 1,200 pounds of debris called space junk from the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) would come crashing down to earth. The largest piece is expected to be about 300 pounds. The warning is to put people on alert to watch out for the falling masses similar to the postings along highways to watch out of crossing deer, But this space junk is small compared to the 75-ton post-Apollo Skylab space station, the 10-ton Pegasus 2 satellite, or the 135-ton Mir space station, all of which have come raining down to earth. Fortunately most of this previous debris has landed in our oceans.  So now with all of the other things people have to watch for and worry about, we add falling space junk to our list! Many experts on Biblical prophecy believe the cataclysmic descriptions in the book of Revelation will be fulfilled by not only supernatural occurrences but by phenomenon such as space wars and falling space parts. Maybe or maybe not, but it is something to consider when you read about the heavenly bodies which will cause havoc and destruction on earth.
Tomorrow's sermon is entitled, How To Fire The Preacher. This is a message you will not want to miss. I hope you can be there.
