Gorgeous Moon

 1 Corinthians 15:41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.

 Psalms 136:9 The moon and stars to rule by night: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Did you see it last night?!

After all my excitement I thought I was going to

miss the rising of the moon.

My Dearest had such a busy day helping

his family prepare land to plant grass for their

cows. I'll have to share more about my 

father-in-law's mini farm later.

Then he visited his uncle who is going

to Tennessee to have a Stem Cell procedure

-he's battling cancer.

Then he went to the church to clean the lawn

and set up for church today - we rent

another church's facility and share it with

an AA group.

Then he went to his parents house - weed-eated their

yard.

I called him about 8:30 pm and asked him if he

wanted to go find the moon with me.

He said 'yes' and he'd be right over.

Well, he did just that! He took me down one

of the country roads chasing the moon - 

in his convertible -OH! I love riding in it

seeing and smelling all the wonders around us.

Well, we laughed because there was 

a bank of clouds covering the moon.

The optimal time was between 7 and 9 p.m.

Nearing nine, we could see a 'silver lining' 

in the clouds and amazingly moonrays 

spread across the sky! Oh! I wish I had a better 

camera! It was spectacular! Then there he

was - the Moon! Bright as the sun in the evening!

So beautiful. We attempted to take a couple of

pictures - laughing all the while.

What a wonderful creation God prepared for us!

What a joy! I hope you had the opportunity to

see the wonders of the evening sky!

Then, some time later for us there was this spectacular thunderstorm!

What a night!

Super Moon

Lenten Moon

Last Full Moon of Winter 

According to Nasa, "On March 19th, a full Moon of rare size and beauty will rise in the east at sunset. It's a super "perigee moon"--the biggest in almost 20 years."

I am in awe of the beauty of the moon. Especially a full moon. I have driven home and have caught a glimpse of it as it rises in the east. It never ceases to impress me. What a delight to have such beauty - a gift from God.

Nasa further stated, "The best time to look is when the Moon is near the horizon. That is when illusion mixes with reality to produce a truly stunning view. For reasons not fully understood by astronomers or psychologists, low-hanging Moons look unnaturally large when they beam through trees, buildings and other foreground objects. On March 19th, why not let the "Moon illusion" amplify a full Moon that's extra-big to begin with? The swollen orb rising in the east at sunset may seem so nearby, you can almost reach out and touch it."

I will have to find a spot where I can catch a glimpse of this wonder. Where I live there's a lot of trees and hills - I hope you have opportunity to see this and to enjoy it.

Genesis 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

Psalms 8:3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

moon images Nasa; Newsdrome
