Stars

I've been studying stars off and on for some years now. I recently read Jay Ryan's Signs and Seasons (a text book teaching Classical, Biblical Astronomy- highly recommended). I am finally learning to identify more than just Orion in the sky.

Tonight, due to a hip injury, I couldn't sleep. So I got up and took some Tylenol and then peeked outside. I was able to identify Mars in Leo. Quite cool!

Now, in the past I have read Gospel in the Stars kind of books. However Mr. Ryan makes a good case that their theories are quite flawed, so we can't treat them like truth. I do know that my God made those stars though. And that all creation tells of His Glory.

So here is what I saw tonight:

Mars, the ancient symbol of the War God inside of Leo the lion.

In other words a reminder that...

My King and Commander of the Angel Hosts is the victorious Lion of Judah.

The triumphal Judge rules the universe.



Doesn't much matter if anyone in all of history ever saw that. It's what I see.

Thank you so much for commenting! I love to talk to my readers.

I do ask that there be no anonymous commenters, though. If I am brave enough to put my name on this blog, you should be too:-)

Please keep it civil. Remember we are all human and make mistakes, and that since we can't see each other's faces or hear each other's tone of voice, it is very hard to get the emotion in what we are saying each other. Use lots of emoticons! :-) And show grace and love to each other.
