Let us all be praying tonight and early in the morning that all goes well with the re-entry. I'm heading to bed early and setting my alarm for 2:00 Central time to watch this for a couple of hours before heading back to bed until sunrise.

Please bring our astronauts home safely, Father. We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.
