Stars

Stars. Where to start? There are so many cool things about stars. In the summertime, I love to lay outside in my backyard and just watch them. I could stay out there all night. There is just something about them that is calming, yet mysterious at the same time. When I look at the night sky it never ceases to humble me. It's vastness and beauty make me aware of how small I am in this vast universe. Something else I love about the stars is they show just how amazing God is. It is hard to wrap my mind around how the same God that made the stars in the sky made me and loves me more than I can even fathom.

Number four on my Bucket List is to learn more about the stars. I know hardly anything about them. Honestly, the only constellation I can find in the sky is the Big Dipper. And it's a rare occasion that I even find that. I guess more specifically, I would like to be able to find various constellations in the night sky. There is no particular reason for this thought, other than I am just interested in constellations. I also think it is neat that the stars have played important roles in many different cultures throughout human history.

Here is a blog called "Iota Crumb" that deals with various topics regarding science fiction and science. Glenn has a really neat post about stars that is very fascinating that you can read by clicking here.

Also, there is a song by David Crowder Band called "Stars." I think it is a great song that shares what I think about the stars. The video for this song is not very good, but I just want you to hear the song...because it is amazing! :)

  1. This is definitely something that I think about a lot too. It is amazing to think that God made such beauty, the stars. When I look at the vastness of the night sky and admire it, it makes me think of how insignificant I seem, yet God loves us so much.
