Psalms 119:136 APOLLO 13 MISSION 1970 used a phrase “Houston we’ve had a problem.”  A phrase uttered by astronaut Jack Swigert during the eventful journey of Apollo 13, just after observing a warning light accompanied by an explosion, at 21:08 of April 13, 1970.  For decades this original phrase has been used inaccurately to “Houston, we have a problem “which is a popular but inaccurate.  This phrase was popularized by the film Apollo 13 with Tom Hanks “Houston we have a problem.”  But none the less!

As it was for me and you!  Where did Christian go to find rest for this load or burden that he carried? The cross of Calvary!!  Isn’t that where you went as well for forgivenes...
