Sometimes on a clear night I'll sit in the backyard and gaze at the canopy of stars. I'm in awe of the handiwork of our Creator. Psalm 147:4 says the LORD numbers the stars and calls them all by name. I can barely make out the Big Dipper.
This week I read an MSNBC report on the two Voyager space probes, which are hurtling toward the edge of our solar system, 8.4 billion miles away. I found this fascinating: Even at speeds of more than 35,000 mph, it will take 20,000 years for the Voyagers to reach the middle of a comet system called Oort's Cloud, which is barely held in orbit by the sun's gravity. It could take twice that long to pass the outer boundaries of cometary space. By this time, they will have traveled the distance of two light years, equivalent to half the distance to Proxima Centauri, the nearest star.
With that in mind, look at Isaiah 48:13 – "My right hand has stretched out the heavens; when I call to them, they stand up together." God is that big. Even though my finite brain can't fully grasp those dynamics, I can put my trust in Him every day. He is bigger than anything I can see.
Posted by Jeff King at November 7, 2003 11:26 AMDear Jeff King, I just read your very infomative
& intresting history of Cristmas as related to the pagan holidays. Id like very much to print it out & send it to other christians. When I go to print on printable view, it comes out all scrambled. How do I get this to print out right. I'm sure its something simple, but I can't recall. I do remember the passwords are candle & may. But I'm lost on the proceedure. I've been
realy buisy this past yr. Mom died of Cancer & I've been swamped with stuff to do. We got our computer last Dec. & I haven't had much time to
communicate with Cristy or anyone though Ive been
geting the tapes etc & try to keep up with the e-mail. Christy told me you were in Ill. not far from whare they used to live. I used to go to the Bible Study when ever I could. Do you have
a Bible Study or do you know who does? etc. I hope to get organized next yr. & get into more Jewish Roots. You sound very knowlagable. I love
Peters Tapes. He is one who tells it like it is.
Well I could go on & on. Want to keep this short.
e-mail me info if you have any advice on how to
print this. It is very good & would be good info
to mail out on Xmas Cards & Put Crist back in the
Hannacah season !!
