(p. 31) <br /><br />Between you and Ann, maybe I'll learn enough to do more than simply point out the North Star and the Big Dipper...and when I can say "Oh, my, look at all the stars," naming some as I gaze out at the night sky, I can get myself awed.Ann Kroekerhttp://annkroeker.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20010538.post-51608660035138554622011-01-21T16:45:57.800-05:002011-01-21T16:45:57.800-05:00Milton, a very cool read.

I've always loved anything to do with stars and the vastness of the universe, and this had some interesting tidbits mixed with a great message of faith. Thanks for sharing!Brock S.

It beckons my imagination. <br /><br />You also mentioned both David Wilcox and Bill Mallonee, two musicians I've admired.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12125792591159561789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20010538.post-88677723879093009852011-01-20T09:52:30.197-05:002011-01-20T09:52:30.197-05:00I featured your post today at the High Calling, Ar...I featured your post today at the High Calling, Around the Network, featuring some of the best blogs around. <br />We get around 20,000 readers.<br /><br />Find the link here:<br /><br />http://www.thehighcalling.org/around-network/around-network-words-can-change<br /><br />David Rupert<br />High Calling Newsletter Editor<br /><br />www.RedLetterBelievers.comDavid Ruperthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04765017700988820676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20010538.post-42338652693382764302010-12-27T15:47:31.710-05:002010-12-27T15:47:31.710-05:00ah, as you say, "the continuum of wonder"...ah, as you say, "the continuum of wonder" -- an amazing universe makes me even more awed by God.David Ruperthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04765017700988820676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20010538.post-72680733723920585762010-12-15T17:39:36.567-05:002010-12-15T17:39:36.567-05:00This link actually has much better images for the ...This link actually has much better images for the song.<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFkM_R3CZvIK.E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03130946775246181586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20010538.post-73577038979642538562010-12-15T10:40:43.753-05:002010-12-15T10:40:43.753-05:00Cosmologists tell us that at the Big Bang, all mat...Cosmologists tell us that at the Big Bang, all matter in the universe was hydrogen. The fusion reactions powering the first generation of stars generated light and heat, and produced all the other 100+ elements as by-products. The silicon, iron, and nickel that makes up this whirling planet, the nitogen and oxygen, carbon dioxide and water vapor of its atmosphere, and the carbon, phosphorus, sulfur and other stuff that make up living things was origanally part of early stars, scattered around by their explosive deaths.Davidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20010538.post-55362206464296584102010-12-15T10:19:58.363-05:002010-12-15T10:19:58.363-05:00Thanks for the connection, Kim.
