| Great Blue Heron against super moon rising in Daytona Beach, FL |
Ave Maria! The super moon on Saturday evening past was truly magnificent! It was just a mere 220,625 miles from the earth, the closest it's been since January 19, 1992. I felt as though I could reach up and touch it, it seemed that near. And it was so gloriously bright that I couldn't bear to leave it. I kept running back outdoors to see it, each time exulting anew in the marvels of our Creator God. If you missed Saturday's spectacle, you can view some images here. FYI, at its furthest, the moon can be 250,000 miles from our planet.

Though we speak much we cannot reach the end, and the sum of our words is: "He is the all." Where shall we find strength to praise him? For he is greater than all his works. Terrible is the Lord and very great, and marvelous is his power. When you praise the Lord, exalt him as much as you can; for he will surpass even that. When you exalt him, put forth all your strength, and do not grow weary, for you cannot praise him enough. Who has seen him and can describe him? Or who can extol him as he is? Many things greater than these lie hidden, for we have seen but few of his works. For the Lord has made all things, and to the godly he has granted wisdom. ~Sirach 43:27-33
