I made it to Indianapolis and had a great view of the eclipse. God's wonders were on full display. When we think of how intricate and precise even that event was/is we are overwhelmed with awe at the power and knowledge involved. And we just finished celebrating the greatest wonder of all, the resurrection of the Savior and its signifying that our sins have been forgiven. Nuff preaching.
Bev is coming back from Arizona this afternoon, so the house has some inhabitants, again. It was lonely, I'm sure.
While talking with a class member about health concern, we got "off the topic" to talk about the eclipse. It was fantastic and we talked about God's wonders. Psalm 19 says "The heavens declare God's glory." And talk about glory, just think of the glory and power that was displayed there. But that only lasted at most, about four minutes. When Jesus was crucified, the darkness lasted for three HOURS! God was shouting out to the world, "Listen!"
And Bev was at the Grand Canyon and saw the wonder of God displayed in the "dirt, or earth." That thing is stunning in its size and intricacy. He is calling out in every thing around us. "Listen." Oops, preaching again.
Meanwhile, keep looking up. Just as the sun, moon, and earth lined up to show just a little of God's glory, so are events leading up to Revelation 19. He is coming back, riding on a white horse. I like the song about the "Days of Elijah." It says, "Behold He comes, riding on the clouds, shining like the sun, at the trumpet call.

Glory, and amen.
