Jax! Celine pointed eagerly to her microscope. Come look at this. Jax\nput down the test tube he was holding and walked over to her. Thanks to the\nartificial gravity in the station, he could move quickly. Outside, where\nthere were no magnetized floors tugging at the flecks of iron embedded in\nhis uniform and boots, walking would have felt like hopping from one side\nof a swimming pool to the other. Things got done much more efficiently on\nEnceladus at one g.\nWhat is it? Jax was practically bouncing with excitement when he reached\nCeline. Did you find something? Celine pointed to the slide clipped under\nthe microscope lens and said, Take a look at these rocks. Jax stopped\nbouncing. Rocks! He peered into the microscope, then laughed. Yep, those\nare rocks, all right. He sighed. You got me all excited thinking you\nfound something, you knowalive! Celine shrugged and a gave a half-hearted\napology. Sorry to disappoint you. But those rocks are excitingthey look\ndifferent from the other ones we\u2019ve sampled. I think they\u2019re made up of\ndifferent compounds. Jax raised his eyebrows and said, Um, I think I\nmissed the part about why rocks with different compounds are exciting.\nBecause it means we could be one step closer to finding life. Not all\nmicroorganisms on Earth prefer the same food or environment. If there\u2019s\nlife on Enceladus, it probably works the same way. Microbes may need a\nspecific type of environment to surviveone we haven\u2019t found yet. Jax\nplopped down onto a lab stool and said, Okay, I guess that is pretty\nexciting. He spun around on the stool\u2019s wheels. Gravity was awesome. But\nEnceladus\u2019s tiny gravityless than one percent of Earth\u2019scould be fun too.\nThere was a game of low-g volleyball he was hoping to get in on later. If\nthere is life on Enceladus, I hope we find it.\nMe too. Celine sighed. But sometimes it seems like a hopeless search.\nJax nodded slowly then said, I feel that way too sometimes. But then I\nremember that, whether we ever find anything on Enceladus or not, I\u2019ve\nalready found lifethe life that really matters. Any disappointments in\nthis life can\u2019t compare to that. Courtney Lasater\n Read the verse below. What life do you think Jax is talking about at the\nend of the story?\n In John 14:6, Jesus says, I am the way, the truth, and the life. How\ncan knowing Jesus help us weather life\u2019s difficulties and disappointments?\nAnd when Christ, who is your life, is revealed to the whole world, you will\nshare in all his glory.
