Beyond the Stars
September 4, 2018
You have set your glory in the heavens.
Psalm 8:1
In 2011, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration celebrated thirty years of space research. In those three decades, shuttles carried more than 355 people into space and helped construct the International Space Station. After retiring five shuttles, NASA has now shifted its focus to deep-space exploration.
The human race has invested massive amounts of time and money, with some astronauts even sacrificing their lives, to study the immensity of the universe. Yet the evidence of Gods majesty stretches far beyond what we can measure.
When we consider the Sculptor and Sustainer of the universe who knows each star by name (Isaiah 40:26), we can understand why the psalmist David praises His greatness (Psalm 8:1). The Lords fingerprints are on the moon and the stars, which [He] set in place (v. 3). The Maker of the heavens and the earth reigns above all, yet He remains near all His beloved children, caring for each intimately and personally (v. 4). In love, God gives us great power, responsibility, and the privilege to care for and explore the world Hes entrusted to us (vv. 58).
As we study our star-spattered night skies, our Creator invites us to seek Him with passion and persistence. He hears every prayer and song of praise flowing from our lips.
Loving Creator of the universe, thank You for being mindful of us.
The greatness of God is evident in His awesome vastness and intimate nearness.
Paul wrote that the sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another, and the stars in their differing sizes and brightness, still another (1 Corinthians 15:4041). The varying wonders of the night sky, however, are only a hint of the differences we see in the glory of God. While the cosmos stretches our mind with its evidence of unlimited space and power, the heart of God contains a far greater wonder. Beyond the unbounded expanse, colors, and wonders of the cosmos is the hidden glory of the love of God on the cross.
Father, when we consider the universe Your hands have made and the face that bore the spit and fists of those who mocked Jesus, what is man that You are mindful of us?

As it was known, Charleston AFB was my Point of Embarkation for Rhein-Main AB, W. Germany on 6/10/78 and returned there 3 years later. Headed over to Ft. Jackson SC to out-process.

Hey radu!
Son and I did have a great time at the range yesterday afternoon and hung out for awhile afterwards.
Just been hanging out today and relaxing.

Awesome! Glad the weather didn’t pull some sort of stunt to ruin the day, as it’s wont to do at times.
It’s Labor Day so I labored. LOL! Housework and a quick run to the store. Now kicking back to relax a little bit.

Oooooh. I thought you’d had a good breakfast. LOL
I’ve been through Charleston once - many years ago - and we didn’t stop. I’d love to go back to check out the historical sites but it doesn’t seem to be in the cards.
