Passover Moon...Passover Snow...Passover Cast

We did it!  We got up at 3:20 am on Tuesday morning so that we could see the Lunar Eclipse and Blood Moon!  Carrie was put in charge of setting her alarm and then waking William and me.  It was cold and cloudy, but shortly after stepping onto the driveway, this is what we saw...


My next four pictures were completely black, so I deleted them and tried to get a picture of the April 15th snow on the top of the house instead...


And a picture of the moon-gazing crew, temporarily blinded by the flash...




 Another awesome picture of the moon...


And another!


Ummmmm...not mine.  After standing out in the biting cold for about 20 minutes, we decided that there MUST be something live on the NASA site.  Yep!  This is what we found.  Amazing!


We went to bed around 4:00 and this is what we found when the sun came up!  Seriously???  Seriously beautiful!




All of it beautiful!  The moon...the snow...the flowers covered in snow....







"...The heavens declare the glory of God.  The skies proclaim the work of His hands."  --Psalm 19:1 (NIV)

And I love this one...
"For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky.  Through everything God made, they can clearly see His invisible qualities--His eternal power and divine nature.  So they have no excuse for not knowing God."  --Romans 1:20 (NLT)

Amen!

And another of my most favorite of God's creation...



That green cast is looking good, Joshy!
And check out that LEGO man that William drew!  Man, oh man!  Did he set the bar or what?  I still haven't signed, because I am wondering what on earth won't disappoint after that!


Passover.  Easter Week.  One of my favorite times of the year.  The kids are all old enough now to have some really amazing conversations during our Bible time in the morning.  Matthew will be getting baptized in less than two weeks.  I love hearing his amazing childlike faith and pray that mine is like his.
