As I read this article and saw the story break on the news recently, one text came to my mind, Luke 9:25, “What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit his very self?” NASA astronaut, Navy Capt. Lisa Nowak, had literally risen above the world, and by all accounts seem to be a good person. But somehow she has lost her way, caught up in a love triangle that almost turned deadly. Were it not for the grace of God in my life, I don’t know where I would be today. I too once was lost, but thanks be to God, Jesus found me and keeps me from being lost.

This is truly a human tragedy as the life and family of Navy Capt. Lisa Nowak is now going through some serious challenges. Let’s keep her and her family in our prayers as well as the other two individuals, and their families, who were caught up in this triangle of lust. She may have commintted a crime, but she is also a victim.
