"We are not alone.Â Even now there are thousands of beings in heaven watching what is going on down hereâ€”a â€˜great cloud of witnesses,â€™ the Scripture says.Â It reminds me that there is so much more to our existence than what we can see.Â What we do reverberates through the heavens and into eternity."

-- Francis Chan

It was what each of us had wanted of course.Besides wanting to experience a place we hated, we wanted to be insomniacs and loners, losers and drop-outs. To know the sky was the only location of meaning and joy left to us.”
