"Midnight Sky" tells the story of a scientist living alone in a research outpost in the far North who is one of the only people to survive a global catastrophe that killed most of the planet's inhabitants.  As a result of the catastrophe (whose precise nature is never fully explained), the planet's air is toxic and unbreathable.  No one will live above ground again.

    One day, however, he hears from a spaceship, Aether, on its way from Jupiter back to earth.  He tells them to go back to Jupiter's inhabitable moon.

     

    At this point, only two crew members, a man and woman, are still on the ship.  She's pregnant.  What to do?

    

    They leave to start a new world.

    

    What would you do?  Would you take a chance on a new world?  Or would you brave your way into the decimated old?

    

    Put another way, what are you most willing to trust:  what you hope in the new or what you remember from the old?  As we go into 2022, ponder this question.  Ponder your life, ponder God:  what is most worth knowing?

    Happy New Year!
