Farewell Mr. Spock: Live Long and Prosper

This past week, one of the most recognized actors in our day, Leonard Nimoy, died at age 83. Most everyone in the United States will remember him primarily for his role as the beloved Mr. Spock in the 1960’s TV series, Star Trek, a series which continues to be shown on TV to this day.

He used the Vulcan Salute accompanied by the words, “Live long and prosper”.
Believe it! It’s the Gospel.
