We heard about a meteor shower that was supposedly the last of its kind. So Megan and I and our friend Vicki drove up on the parkway late one night to get away from the city lights and hopefully see a show. I love going up on the parkway to look at the stars. The last time Megan and I went, we sang worship songs to the creator of the magnificent display, and just as we finished singing God blessed us with a shooting star. This time I was just as excited. We found a spot and laid by the car with blankets and watched. "There's one!" "There's another one!" They had long tails and fell across the sky in slow motion. We started talking about Jesus and God (one of my favorite subjects) and what He might do in the world, in our nation, and in our lives. We spoke of our God-given dreams, desires, and hopes. All of this we did in the cradle of His beautiful creation. I could have spent the whole night there. It was really late, though, so we went home.
I am blessed to be in a place where I can see the mighty hand of God displayed in a starry, night sky.
As for today, the 24th of August, I am doing homework and studying for classes, doing chores, and checking things off "the list." I've got to go find a job.
