Her essay out of 700 entries was one of 21 submissions picked to be included in a journey to the International Space Station.
“To do the essay, I thought about the stuff we could do in the future and what I think would be nice to have,” says Girl Scout Brownie Laurel S. from Troop 861. “It makes me feel like the essay was special, so they chose it for its creativity.”
Laurel’s submission included an essay and a Zoom interview.

Good morning, friends!
An
excellent new summary of what’s going on with “faith” in the NT by Nijay Gupta:
Mark Twain once said, wryly, “Faith is believin’ what you know ain’t so.” Many Christians, including myself, would have much to disagree with in Twain’s description, but one thing he got right about virtually all modern readers of the English Bible they assume that “faith” is about “beliefs.” Now, there must be
some connection between “faith” and “belief” hence the historical Christians creeds begin with
credo, “I believe in.” But is there more to faith than belief?
