Gives us great perspective. I love your story about that poster. amazaing.

When I was a kid, I pulled a poster out of the center of a magazine and hung it on my wall. God used that poster to speak to me for years. It was a photo of space with an arrow pointing to a speck on the poster with the words, “You are here.”
It seems silly to doubt, fear, and anguish over the things that happen in life when you take your eyes off of problems and look at how BIG and CAPABLE God is. I feel the tension leaving already 🙂

I went out last night and watched the meteors and can’t wait to see them again tonight. Something about gazing at the stars draws me closer to God. Blessings on your week!

Thank you for the encouragement!

I love writing on Sundays using the lectionary. I write it ahead of time then when I hear it at church it has deeper meaning. Thanks for stopping by!

Counting stars and hair on our head don’t seem to be a problem to our Pappa though!
