The Stars and gazing...

People always like to see amazing wonders, whether it be the Grand Canyon, Mt. Everest, and eclipse... or as it was tonight... a meteor shower. As I was laying on a deck chair on my deck at 12:30am gazing at the stars on this pleasently clear night in Northern Kentucky waiting for the meteor shower that was supposed to occor (which I ended up missing due to the sad fact of gazing in the wrong direction) I began to think...
Why is it that we forget about the beauty of our Lord's creation until he gives us an "amazing show." Every night we walk under the vast expanse of the beautiful amazing universe that He created (See Louie Giglio's messages Indescribable and How Great is Our God) and think nothing more about it, yet when these instenses of irregulartiy come along we are suddenly stunned and in awe of the beauty. It's as if tonight God was snapping His fingers to say, "Hey! Look what's up here! Did you forget? It's amazing! And I made it with you in mind!"
This thought shook my reality of how amazing the univerese truly is. Let us not forget the beauty that is around us and constantly worship God in the splendor of His holiness...

Welcome

Well, I've been contemplating this creation of a personal blog for a while and I've finally decided that blog creation was the way to go. These entries could go in so many different directions but the general point of this blog is to share "epiphanies" about life, God, worship etc. However, it could also branch out to things such as a daily journal or even advertisement for things such as... the jsquared podcast (http://jsquaredpodcast.blogspot.com) *wink wink. Anyway, this first entry really has no point except to welcome and explain this blog. So I hope what y'all find here is enjoyable and profitable!
