The Universe


Good morning Trinity Tribe!

We had a wonderful vacation, but it sure is nice to be home! I have lots of things to tell you, but I will start here…

One of my favorite things we did on our vacation was go to Kennedy Space Center. Mark had been there years ago, but none of the rest of us had. It was a neat experience! They have created a nice way to be educated about how our country is pushing the envelope into space exploration, rocketry, and pure human ingenuity.

Often people that are scientists do not believe in God. And I understand and respect that people who are very analytical need to see proof that God exists. However, I think that the images of beauty that we saw that had come out of the Hubble telescope prove nothing but the existence of God. I cannot believe that the sheer brilliant beauty of the birth of a star that occurred millions of years ago that I am just now seeing because of the speed of light, could be explained by sheer coincidence.

Next time you are up late, bundle up, go outside and marvel at the heavens. They are a magnificent creation of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

Psalm 8
1 LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!

You have set your glory
in the heavens.
2 Through the praise of children and infants
you have established a stronghold against your enemies,
to silence the foe and the avenger.
3 When I consider your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place,
4 what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
human beings that you care for them?[
