Yes. There's flowing water and bacteria on Mars and glowing turtles in the sunless deep. In all our death-peddling and meddling with cheap labor, do we give two straws for living things?
The threat of pain can force retreat and fret our souls to the grave. The breath of God brings the promise of life and victory when dark powers hover. Psalm 60
He descended from the Prices of Albion, Michigan - a humble lineage if any. He descended the Mississippi river to the namesake state: a dry, yankee fish; descended from a radar technician to a night watchman, from a full-fingered man to an amputee, from a boisterous firebrand who played a mean hand of Spades to a wafer in a hospital bed, gagging at the wretched machines. Then, he finally ascended. "There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever." - Revelation 22:5
