To: Jeremiah Jr; left that other site; cyn; Mr. M.J.B.
Ha, I made the pun post a short time ago, and now look what comes up - an article about Buzz Aldrin. (I only now saw it.) Because if anyone remembers what he said and when:

Mindful of the controversy caused by the Bible readings made by the Apollo 8 crew, the NASA management had warned the Apollo 11 crew against making any explicit religious comments during the flight. However, in the final Apollo 11 TV broadcast during the return journey to Earth, Aldrin quoted from Psalm 8 (verses 3 and 4)[28] "I’ve been reflecting the events of the past several days and a verse from the Psalms comes to mind to me. 'When I consider the heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars which thou hast ordained, what is man that thou art mindful of him?'".[29][30] This quote seems to have been accepted as a personal observation and did not precipitate any controversy.

>>>

Aldrin was born January 20, 1930, in Mountainside Hospital, in Glen Ridge, New Jersey.[1][2]

To complete the verse:

4 What is man [enosh], that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man [Adam 120], that thou visitest him?

Prayers for his recovery.

To: Ezekiel

“What is man that Thou art mindful of him?” Ps 8:3-4

Thanks for the ping — joining you in those prayers for his recovery.

And how appropriate: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/3500334/posts?page=31#31

I’m thinking a visit later from PE Trump would tie your two posts together nicely!
