Creation's proclamation 1

One year in school I did a presentation on the solar system. I studied the planets, the stars, asteroids, the sun... Then I picked one planet and I studied more about it. The planet I chose to focus on was Jupiter. As I studied, I discovered Jupiter has moons that obit it. At that time, there were 16 moons around Jupiter - now, however, they've discover 53!!!  

My planet line up; with Mom as the sun!!!!
 That time I spent studying the night sky so long ago stirred in me a love for astronomy. The more we discover about the vastness of space the more we realize how much we don't actually know. Scientists have just recently discovered that some of the rings around Saturn are actually braided!! The more we discover, the more awesome it all seems; but we've only just scratched the tip of the iceberg so to speak. Thereès a whole lot more out there just waiting to point us to it's Creator 

 God must've had a purpose in mind when He created all of this, especially if we weren't going to be able to see a lot of it with our naked eye. So, what is the purpose of Creation?  What's the purpose of the sun, moon, stars, planets, asteroids and constellations? In Psalm 19 it says: "The heavens declare the glory of God..." I truly believe that this is the number one reason for creation. To point to the One who made it all.

    It's mind blowing to look up at a clear night sky and think of how amazing this universe is! It does give one a glimpse of how awesome our God is, as creator of this stupendous and seemingly unending world!

A solo adventure part 3

Image
My solo at the beginning of Flesh and Spokes Show time!!!!  Our call to the theater on Saturday was for 3:00.We made this call in plenty of time and were able to relax a bit before I was needed. After my rehearsal and notes it was snack time followed by make up and costumes. At rehearsal the previous day, it hadn't taken me long to adapt to the stage, but the wings were a problem for me. Every theater has different wings but in all the eight years I've been dancing professionally I have never seen wings like these. They were shallow and wide. The booms for the lights were in each wing making it cramped and scary (each boom held 2 or 3 lights and each light got very, very hot. Not to mention the lights are very expensive.) The set up was such that turning around in the  wing and remaining hidden would be impossible. This meant that for each of my 3 exits, I would have to go off backwards. One of the things we're taught as a dancer is to never look over your shoulder ...

Challenge that produses trust

For the last many months, I  have been mourning the loss of my PSW (personal support worker.) When someone works closely with you day after day, it is hard not to become friends. We share stories and life.   O ver the year she was caring for me I grew to trust her . But here's the thing, she was one of many workers over the last four years who has left after a short period of time. And like with the others, I asked God a very simple question "Why?"  why just as trust and friendship develops, do they leave to go on to other jobs, studies or careers? Through this and many other losses, God is teaching me that change is good, and to trust Him in it all.  Does it still hurt? Of course it does. Do I miss her? Absolutely. But I am slowly learning to see everything God choreographs into my life as good. It doesn't always feel that way. Sometimes I wish He would allow one or two workers to stay for a few years.  But it seems that God likes to choreograph c...

Fact or fantasy - 6 days or 6 billion years

It's amazing to me that out of all books of the Bible, Genesis is the one book that is quite often attacked. I talked about the flood and how the Ark was built. Now I'd like to tackle the biggest and possibly most controversial issue of all time...the issue of Creation. "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters.   Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.  God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light day, and the darkness He called night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day..."  Genesis 1:1 - 5 You probably know the rest, the chapter goes on to describe the 6 days of creation.  Now, the issue here is that this Scripture has been twisted and added onto by man. The Bible warns us in Proverbs e...
