Space Shuttles

Space shuttles are a magnificent piece of machinery that has been created. The technology used is practically out of this world and what the shuttles can do is incredible. In essence when a space shuttle is on its way home from a quest it comes back to the earth from hundreds of miles away. I don't know the exact distance but they are coming into landing from a great distance away. When they land they come down to a small landing strip that is only 300 ft wide and 15,000 ft long.

When the space shuttle starts it's decent and looks at its landing it only looks like it is the size of a pinhead. If the shuttle were to get off course by just the slightest degree for how far away it is, it would miss the landing by miles. As the shuttle comes into landing the computer systems and all the fancy technology that it has keeps it on course and the people working are watching it are making sure it stays on course. somehow the space shuttle coming in from hundreds of miles away can come down and land back on earth on, compared to the universe, a very very small landing strip.

Thinking about traveling to space always blows my mind. But just like space shuttles have computers and technology to get them back home, so do we. We have the gospel of Jesus Christ to guide us right back to our Father in Heaven. Although getting space shuttles to come home and land is probably extremely difficult and confusing the Gospel of Jesus Christ is simple and it's easy to return home to our Father in Heaven.

All we need to do is a few simple things and the more we do them the easier it gets and the more we want to do them. It starts with having faith in Jesus Christ. As our faith builds it will make us want to repent and put our lives in closer harmony with our Saviors. The more we repent and build our faith we will want to be baptized, just how Christ was, by immersion and with proper authority that has been restored and is once again on the earth in the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. After we are baptized we receive the gift of the Holy Ghost to be our constant companion, which helps us endure to the end. I like to look at it as enjoy to the end because we have all the added blessings from heaven everyday in our life.

As we follow the gospel of Jesus Christ we will be led home to our Father in Heaven and we will enjoy life all the way home.
