A space ship named Curiosity.







After a journey of 40 million miles, a courageous little craft called "Curiosity" touched down last week on Martian soil.
It's quest to find the meaning of life is now underway with its array of instruments ready to probe through the Martian surface and relay its findings back to Earth.

Curiosity indeed.

Fifty years ago a short-sighted professor hung a limp hand over the pulpit of the chapel at Bede College in England and quaintly asked the question:

"What's it all about gentlemen? It's up to each one of you to find out for himself."

Challenges like that launched me on a voyage of discovery that has lasted to this present day.

In fact, this morning I asked a wealthy businessman the same question posed by Chaplain Paddy McDermott.
His response was to swear voluminously and tell me that no one can ever know. In his seventies all curiosity has died, all desire to explore further has faded. He is lost in a space-craft called "Cynicism" on a voyage to nowhere.

What ever you do  I urge you  to keep on the ship called "Curiosity". Go with God and it will take you to Heaven.

Luke 11:9
