Saturday night a few of us chicas went out from about 12 - 1:30 am, not sure what we'd get to see but hopes were high. We were not disappointed. It was worth every lost minute of sleep.
The Four Starologists, L to R: Marcy, Becca, Amanda, Me (In Becca's defense the flash on my phone is super bright!)
After one particularly brilliant meteor shot across nearly the whole sky: (paraphrasing)
Lots of screaming/cheering/laughing
MB: Wow! That one went all the way from here to Europe!
AV: Yeah! And there they were yelling in other languages at it!
Psalm 19:1-3
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard
Truth is that God doesn't need any of us. He can speak for Himself just fine. All you have to do is look up at the night sky to see that there is something bigger, something omnipotent out there. And you just feel it, you feel there is a purpose, a reason to life. In all your littleness, you are part of something. This is the heavens speaking, transcending culture norms, slipping right past language barriers declaring their Maker.
Should life ever find me in a place where the sky cannot be seen, I pray I can remember the minute details of a shooting star. And I will share its story with those around me.
Hasta!
