specifically designed to provide entertainment and moral support for the military.
The doors have been open since Oct 7 2001,
the day of the start of the war in Afghanistan.
We are indebted to you for your sacrifices for our Freedom.
Thanks, Galz, for a great road trip to Virginia’s Quantico!
Good evening Kathy. We’ve had a mild day here today. I think 84 was the high at our house. Scattered showers all day. I wanted mow the lawn today, but it has been too damp. Pup and cats loved the cooler weather.
One of NASAs observatories has discovered a giant black hole that hums. Located in the Perseus cluster of galaxies about 250 million light years from Earth, the black hole vibrates at the frequency of a B flat. But it is too low a pitch to be picked up by the human ear. Scientific instruments have placed the note at 57 octaves below middle C on a piano.
The idea of music and heavenly bodies is not new. In fact, when God revealed Himself to Job, He asked: Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? . . . When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? (Job 38:4,7). We are told that at the creation of our marvelous universe, songs of praise and shouts of joy resounded to Gods glory.
A wonderful hymn by St. Francis of Assisi captures the awe and worship we feel when beholding the radiant sun by day or the star-studded sky at night.
All creatures of our God and King,
Lift up your voice and with us sing Alleluia, Alleluia!
Thou burning sun with golden beam,
Thou silver moon with softer gleam:
O praise Him, O praise Him!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork (Ps. 19:1).
Lets praise the One who made such beauty for us to enjoy!
Read: Job 38:1-7
