Today's the fortieth anniversary of man's setting foot on the moon. (Well, it was still 20th July in the United States, but it was already 21st in other parts of the world when we saw live pictures of the momentous event.) Those who were alive at the time can no doubt remember seeing it on TV and hearing those now-famous words: "That's one small step for man; one giant leap for mankind."Today is also my birthday. No, not the day that I was first born on planet earth, but the day when I really understood the gospel and was "born again." Just two years after Neil Armstrong took his "one small step" onto the moon, I personally took my "one small step" of deciding to live the rest of my life for God and not for myself. Thirty eight years later, I can see that this single step has been the determining factor for my whole life, and I am so thankful for the privilege of having walked several decades in friendship with God.
