Total eclipse of the moon
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/6411991.stm
All we need is for the rain to stop and the clouds to clear.
Pat took the kids biking in the local park yesterday - there's one of these tracks for mountain bikes - and they had a whale of a time slurping through the mud. Catrin was fine once they had dug her out and the second time round she used a snorkel for breathing.
THE MOON IS ROUND
Jim Elliot coined for himself the slogan, “the moon is round!” The night sky was a visible reminder to him that God’s purposes are whole and perfect, regardless of whether we can see or comprehend the wholeness or perfection. Even when the moon was just a crescent, or when it was obscured by clouds entirely, Jim would acknowledge its roundness in spite of what his eyes insisted. For him, the silver sliver of the moon was a small thumbnail image — merely a part of the whole picture.* He recognized that his senses might be able to apprehend a tiny, distorted perspective — but that his senses did not determine or alter the reality. The moon was round, regardless. God’s person and work was whole and perfect, regardless.

i love LES CHORISTES, too.
don't worry--i'll get it back to you.
i promise.
Well I tried to look at the moon, but the water kept going in my eyes and in the end, after I had almost drowned, Pat pulled me back into the house by the safety line.
Yes. It was raining. Heavily.
Blessings !
