there is thunder in His footsteps and lightning in His fists

this afternoon on the playground, nicole pointed out that the moon was visible. just now while pulling into my garage i caught a glimpse of it, and remembering her observation, decided to take a closer look. i stood in the middle of my driveway gazing in wonder at the heavens where it occurred to me that though i frequently note with appreciation the fact that the stars are clearer this far from the city (chicago) lights, that it has, in fact, been years since i have taken the time to revel in the firmament as a show of the glory of God and as a testament to His handiwork. as i stood in the silence, taking it all in, i was truly blessed and struck with awe as a shooting star streaked through the darkness beneath the moon bringing me to tears. i only wish that there had been someone to share the experience with...

Psalm 19:1
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handiwork.
