I dragged both kids out this morning for the lunar eclipse/blood moon event. As were standing at the end of our drive, AL and I gazed upon it side by side, both in a bit of awe. Behind us, Zachie was rattling off question after question, in typical Zachie fashion. Why isnt it moving? Why is it bright? Where is Venus? After a couple of minutes he exclaimed, This is awesome! As the red, eclipsed moon slowly dipped below the tree-line, I felt pretty good as a parent, sacrificing 15 minutes of my morning quiet time to show and explain one of Gods majestic displays to my knowledge-thirsty kids. Thats when I turned around and noticed Zachie, for the past 15 minutes, had been facing the completely opposite direction, staring directly at the neighbors floodlight shimmering through the trees. Sigh. Serves as a reminder, however, that you dont always have to see it, to believe it.
