blue moon

December 31, 2009 is New Year's Eve.
It is also the night that there will be a brilliant blue moon in the sky.

What is a blue moon?
Well, it has nothing to do with it's color.
A blue moon is the second full moon in a month.
There was a blue moon on December 2nd.

The last time there was a blue moon on New Year's Eve was in 1990.
The next one will be in the year 2028.

I've mentioned before that I am always studying the things in the sky......
mysterious and beautiful things that God hung there with His hands.

I love this time after Christmas.
Everything slows down and there is peace and rest in my heart.
Christmas went well and everyone went home happy.
Nothing much to do now......nowhere to go....no time pressure.
Plenty of time to relax, pray, read, and do whatever comes along.

I had a nice visit with Aunt Dottie at the nursing home today.
She seems better.....more alert, more content.
I am glad. She is working hard in therapy.

"and when they had called in the apostles, they beat them and charged them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. Then they left the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the name. And every day in the temple and from house to house, they did not cease teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ."
Acts 5: 40 ~ 42

I read the above this morning.
It warrants sharing with you.
