Darkness surrounds us always: "Then, as now, there was a growing darkness and great deeds were done that were not wholly in vain".

No. The darkness comes again and again and is never wholly triumphant nor wholly defeated." - Lewis quoting J. R. R. Tolkien

“It is more significant that God walked on earth than that man walked on the moon…my own life is given purpose and perspective through God who walks on this earth in Jesus. In that sense we are a visited planet!” ..“It was my experience in exploring the moon on the Apollo 15 mission that moved me to devote the rest of my life to spreading the good news of Jesus Christ.”-Apollo 15 astronaut, Colonel James Benson Irwin
