I feel closer to God gazing at the night sky. The other night my daughter asked me about the name of a red star, "Mars," I said. Then she asked me, "How about that other red star?" I had no idea. I hit the books and one of the most beautiful sights of the winter sky is the triangle formed by Betelgeuse, in Orion; above it is Mars; and the third red star is Aldebaran (sp?) the eye of the bull in the Taurus constellation. All of them are red. I think it can still be seen today. God is great! Loved the post. I feel closer to God gazing at the night sky.

A telescope sounds really neat and a good hobby - a thing that I am continuing to learn is an important thing while in ministry. Adam - Thanks for sharing the experience.

I've wanted to put together a Powerpoint of Hubble images and/or some other stellar, space images to the song "God of Wonders." I hope that sometime COR church groups will visit Powell Observatory at Louisburg (not far from the land I think is to be for a retreat/camping area) (Maybe they already do.) Public programs at Powell are on Saturday nights from April through October. The ASKC is Kansas City's next best thing to COR. I didn't say that right but you know what I mean. The ASKC also has a dark sky site south of Butler, MO. www.askc.org I’m a member of the Astronomical Society of Kansas City and a COR member.

I often experience God's greatness through looking up at, not only the nighttime stars, but the sky at any time of day. If you get a chance, I've described some of these experiences on my website http://thisisthestartofsomethingwonderful.blogspot.com/ I'd love to know what you think! I LOVE THIS!
