Huckleberry says, Look up

Sometimes we don't take the time to appreciate the wonders about us. The moon was full recently…September the full moon is called the Hunter’s Moon and October the Harvest Moon. When we compare ourselves and our problems to the vastness of the cosmos and the Hand behind it, somehow hope grows a little stronger.

The opening words of a Christian hymn echo the words of the Psalmist concerning the Glory of God’s creation. Only with the advent of the Hubble Telescope have we been able to appreciate how wondrous are the heavens.
.

How Great Thou Art –
O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

Psalm 19
1 The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
2 Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they display knowledge.
3 There is no speech or language
where their voice is not heard.
4 Their voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.

These are a few of the many amazing pictures of our incredible universe captured by the Hubble telescope.
