Astranouts & Velcro
Velcro took 10 years to create, and has many uses. Apart from acting as a Boredom Reliever to many children in long quiet spells (repeatedly undoing and resealing their shoes!!!) Velcro has also been adopted by astanouts to scratch their itchy noses inside their helmet.

NutShell Gospel

God, Creator;
Man's sin, redeemed by Jesus' death; As we forgive, God forgives our sins.

Created to worship God.

"Forgive us our sins, as we forgive others..."

"And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins."

The Bible - Mark 11:25-26

We sometimes merely excuse someone's bad behaviour, instead of actively forgiving them. To forgive however implies the guilt or culpability of the offending party. We must not simply try to understand those who offend us: we must forgive the debt we feel they owe us - we must 'tear up the IOU'.
