I walk out on my front lawn at night and look up at the night sky. I am in awe at the portion of the great Milky way that is splayed out for me to see. The beauty is overwhelming. Not being a scientist, I am truly amazed at the grandness of the universe that is beyond my imagination. I am envious of those who are capable and have the equipment to see the beauty of the colors and hues of the cloud structures that surround the planets circulating the stars that are our nearest galaxies.
As a youth growing up, I was a Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers fan in the 1940s and 1950s; I faithfully watched Star Trek but was not a Trekkie; and Star Wars was interesting until it got too violent. All this means that I am one that mankind is truly interested in investigating what we refer to as outer space.
I think our space exploration is an excursion into another realm of God’s creation. Do we have the intelligence to understand and accept any differences we meet? Or will we meet these differences with the violence shown to us from the Buck Rogers days to the Star Wars Days?
I walk out on my front lawn to see the peace of the night skies. . . to see the peace of God’s creation and be blessed by God’s love.
