Surprise At Sunrise

 

 

 

 "When I behold Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars,
which You have set in place...what is man that You are mindful of him, 
or the son of man that You care for him?" 
(Psalm 8:3-4)

August, 2025


  
 As usual, I rose up early this morning to satisfy the demands of our hungry
 house cat, who kept jumping up on my bed and knocking things over in my room,
not to mention uttering piteous yowls in his strange cat language in order to
  wake me up.  This was also when I happened to look out the window and towards  
 the east, where dawn was just beginning to break.  However, my attention was
 drawn upwards at two gleaming objects hovering near each other in the sky.

According to The Old Farmer's Almanac,  the year's most glorious planetary 
  conjunction between dazzling Venus and brilliant Jupiter will be visible
 in the predawn skies this month, and especially, on the
morning of Tuesday, August 12th.

I even dragged my two sons out of bed and outside to see these 
 two planets suspended in the clear morning sky above the earth.
 Although both were tired and cranky, they nevertheless seemed
as impressed as I was by this marvel of God's wonderful creation!
