Solutions to Making Lasting Peace (8 of 13)

James 4:1-10
Seven months ago, a beaming Lisa Nowak boarded the space shuttle Discovery at Kennedy Space Center and soared from Florida's Space Coast in a triumphant Independence Day launch that helped put the nation's shuttle program back in business. This week the 43-year-old astronaut returned to Florida -- and the national spotlight -- under darker circumstances. NASA suspended Nowak for 30 days and removed her from flight status Tuesday, which means she cannot be assigned to a space mission. Police said Nowak drove 12 hours Sunday from Houston to Florida, so she could catch Air Force Capt. Colleen Shipman at the Orlando International Airport and confront her about her relationship with space shuttle pilot William Oefelein. Nowak, a married mother of three and separated from her husband of 19 years, could face a lifetime in prison in a bizarre case in which prosecutors say she plotted to kidnap and kill a Cape Canaveral woman she viewed as a romantic rival for another astronaut's attention. Donning a wig, glasses and a trench coat to disguise herself, police said, Nowak followed Shipman from the airport terminal to a dark parking area called the Blue Lot. The officers said Nowak rushed the woman's car, tried to get inside and then attacked her with pepper spray before Shipman sped away to find help. Police said they saw Nowak try to dispose of a duffel bag containing the wig and coat, as well as a BB pistol, steel mallet, 4-inch knife, rubber tubes and plastic garbage bags, among other things.
