The Sky's Proclamation

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.

Psalm 19:1

Night Songs

Be at rest... O my soul,

for the Lord has been good to you.

Psalm 116:7

It's my guess that David, the great king of ancient Israel, was an insomniac.  

If that's true, he certainly made good use of his wakeful hours, 

writing many songs for the nighttime. 

I started compiling some of these songs and other related Scriptures 

years ago when my Mother's pounding heart kept her awake at night.  

I wrote them out in calligraphy on spiral bound index cards and sent them to her.  

And hey, to my great surprise, my mom liked it!
(Don't they always?) 

When I got a computer and a digital camera, 

it seemed logical to combine these Scriptures in a book with photos. 

There have been a few versions of this over the years, 

and the latest is one I published with Blurb, the creative online publisher.  

They made the process enjoyable and relatively simple.  Take a look, if you like.

Eyes on the Sky

We've had our eyes on the sky a lot this week.

Monday's sunset over the lake was dramatic.

A quick trip to St. Louis gave us plenty of opportunity to sky watch from the car.

We were welcomed home Thursday with another colorful sunset.

Linking to Skywatch Friday

There was a man 

Who dwelt in the East

Centuries ago

And now I cannot

Look at a sheep

Or a sparrow

Or a wheat field

Or a bird or a sunset

A vineyard

Or a mountain

Without thinking

Of Him.

G. K. Chesterton
