Leap of Faith

There's a man named Joseph Kittenger, probably not someone you've ever even heard of though his name should be as familiar as Chuck Yeager, Bob Hoover, Neil Armstrong, John Glenn, etc. The reason you should know his name is that he took the term "Leap of Faith" quite literally. . . He took a helium balloon to an altitude of 100,800 feet to test the effects of high altitude on human beings. Then when he's at the very edge of space he did something remarkable. . .

He jumped.

After watching that how can anyone fear the little leaps of faith that we take on a daily basis?

Till next we meet. . .
