Well, as I've gotten older, things change a little. I still find all of those topics interesting, but not nearly as much. But I gotta tell ya, I still am just fascinated by outer space. It just blows my mind, just thinking about how space is infinite. There is nothing on earth that goes on forever, so this idea is really, really difficult for me to grasp. There's no 'wall' in space, there is no end, so you'll just keep on going and going. And this brings me to the point of today's blog: I don't know about you, but when I get thinking about space, the beauty and mystery of it, and it's infinite qualities, I see of God.
For me, space is one small sign that there is a God. He created these absolutely beautiful stars and galaxies and planets and... I could just go on and on. I love it when the sky is clear at night and I can look up at the stars with Jarrod. And as far as the infinity part, space and God are kind of similar, you know? There is no beginning or end in space, just as there is no beginning or end with God. And that just blows my mind; I can't comprehend it.
“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end." --Revelation 22:13.To showcase what I'm talking about, here are some of my favorites. To me, these images are so many things: astounding, incredible, beautiful, and all-around awesome (in the original meaning of the word, too.) The colors, the shapes, the movement are all breath-taking.
