...."blood moon"....lunar eclipse #1

Did you see the moon last night!?!?!??? What an amazing experience!! And what added more to the fun was the use of technology! I was able to watch the eclipse with my daughters in Logan and Provo and my sister in Marion!! So fun! and so wonderful!! There really were no adequate words to describe it.........."the majesty of God" kept running through my brain. Then Marilyn shared her thoughts with me: "Oh Lord My God, When I in awesome wonder, consider all the worlds Thy hands have made; I see the stars...Thy power throughout the universe displayed"!!! YES!!!! Lisa wondered about the "ancient" peoples of the earth and their thoughts about an eclipse like that. I was thankful for the knowledge we have.......also, Lisa wondered what it would look like from the moon. We decided to add that to our "eternal bucket list" of places/times to visit. You can come along if you like! My list is growing!! If you missed the eclipse last night, you still have a chance--there are three more over the next 20 or so months: in October 2014, April 2015 and September 2015.......so you will have a chance. This is not common!! There was a 300 year period where it never occurred! Sir Isaac Newton, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln never had the chance to see this. WOW!! It's red when in the full shadow of the earth because it is reflecting the light of all the sunrises and sunsets that are occurring right then! Amazing!!! isn't it!?!?

Here is a really cool link to information from NASA, click HERE........well, the LA Times talks to someone from NASA........don't you just love technology???

And here is a really neat picture my wonderful nephew Mark L. took from Davis county last night. Thank you Mark!!

It didn't look quite like this for us.........our view was pretty "textbook"..........so if you want to "see what I saw" you can find it about anywhere on the web. I thought this was a beautiful picture. We live in an amazing and beautiful world!! I'm sure you agree..............
