Bite out of the Moon

Did you see it last night? After a disturbing and anxious day which I can only attribute to the mysterious inner working of the peri-menopausal woman, I ended my day with a very clear and calming presence of God. Outside in the clear cold night sky was the slow and bright eclipse of the moon. Moment to moment the progression of the shadow proceeded across the moon. As I would step out in the cold every few minutes the bite out of the moon became larger and larger. I watched and thought to myself how can you not believe in God when you participate in something so wonderful? Thank You Lord for quietly showing up last night and showing me again your splendor and my majesty.

It was absolutely awesome! Thanks for calling and reminding me to take a look. Barry and I both went out several times over the course of about 45 minutes. He was able to get some pictures, too. We were looking through binoculars and I was amazed at the detail of the moon that we were able to see. There was a contrast of reddish/orange of the blocked out portion to a brilliant white of the remaining portion before the total eclipse. It reminded me of what we read in BSF this week about the transfiguration - the brilliant white and His face like the sun shining in brilliance. Our God is awesome and continues to reveal Himself to us through His creation.

Nothing an evening cocktail can't fix...

 I am trying to come up with a basic set of question to facilitate a daily post. So maybe the first question should be: 1. What was/is the highlight of your day or week? This week I went to a funeral of one of the saints of our church.  A sweet, sweet woman who was dearly love by so many. As I sat and listened to the testimony of the woman's life I felt truly blessed that I had the privilege of knowing her.  It was a blessing to know that she is no longer suffering. The next question should be; 2. What should I or could I have done differently today or this week? This falls under the category of a good thing and bad ting.  The new season of Lost in Space comes out this week. I LOVED that show when I was growing up!!! Sadly, I have totally forgot what happen last season so  am having to rewatch several of the previous episodes so I can catch up. This happens quite frequently.  Also, Diana Gabaldon has just published the next instalment to her Outlander series.  I have to (again) re-

Sunday, March 13   Monday, March 14 This is coming up in the herb garden. My sweet furry family member decided it was his greatest joy to pull almost all my plant labels out of the ground and use them for chew toys.  I think this is marjoram but I am not sure. Tuesday, March 15 Click on the link Southern Eggs En Cocotte for the recipe. It was real good y’all!   No pictures on Wednesday, March 16 Thursday, March 17 Can you tell who was at my house all day?   I guess she figured since her toys were scattered all over the floor that she would join them. She laid down sprawl-eagle and did the back stroke for several minutes then switched to rolling from tummy to back all the way into the living room!   Friday, March 18 Today was cake decorating day. Click here to see the start to finish. Saturday, March 19 Today was Muffinhead’s birthday party at a local park! The sun was shinning and the weather was beautiful and a good time was had by all!   Later that e
