God Be Praised...

Apparently, people want me to update my blog. I was blessed to have another very Alaskan weekend. Today, there were orcas (killer whales) breeching and blowing in the bay. It was pretty amazing. But nothing like what I saw Friday night, when the Northern Lights were out again. This time, however, they were not faint like before. Every direction I turned, the lights were all around me, dancing in the sky with greens, purples, and reds. Keep in mind that my digital camera, as I've recently discovered, is somewhat of a virtual dinosaur...it is the equivalent of playing music on a cassette tape player instead of an iPod. But even my humble camera was able to take the below pictures, and trust me, these pictures from an outdated camera do it no justice. I truly saw the greatest wonder of God that I've ever seen Friday night (as far as the physical world goes, that is). And as icing on the cake, as I was driving out of the city to get away from the city lights and see them better, I saw a shooting star go right thru the Borealis. It was like a dream. As corrupt and sinful as this world is, and yet still with such wonders, imagine what the eternal kingdom will be like...
