Debris Avoidance Maneuver

Benjamin and I watched the space shuttle take off the other day. He LOVED it and has been asking to watch it over and over (we dvr'd it). He wants to watch the "space ship go way up into outer space!!!!" Well later I heard it reported that NASA was going to have to plan a "Debris Avoidance Maneuver". Guess the Space Station is having to deal with Space *JUNK* in its orbit and they are needing to move out of its way so that they don't have a collision. As I thought about that it felt like that is what I need!!!! I need to plan some "Debris Avoidance Maneuvers!!" Seems as I set out on my daily orbit around my little world recently, I have had some collisions that have left me in need of repair. And if I don't get myself out of the way of this worlds *junk* I will just keep getting hit!!! Seems like I am surrounded by this *junk*...anger, depression, isolation, frustration, apathy, insomnia...the list just goes on and on. It reminds me of the verse in Ephesians 6:16 about taking on the Shield of faith so that we can withstand the fiery darts of the wicked. Lately it feels like an attack from the wicked one...and all this *junk* in my way are his fiery darts. SOOOOO I need to get myself a "Debris Avoidance Maneuver" !!!! (this could so be used as a spaced themed youth rally!!)
