Week 1: 10/11-10/17

This week I decided to sit outside for a whole hour in one sitting. I waited until around 9:30 p.m. and went outside to lay on the trampoline. My trampoline has a tall net that goes around it on all sides, so when you lay down and look up at the sky, the outline of the net makes the sky looks like you are in a planetarium. It is really neat to see all the stars glistening. I have never really paid too close attention to the stars, and so it was neat concentrating on them and seeing that they actually do twinkle because they are fiery balls of hot fire millions of miles away. It is so amazing that God created the sun and the earth in perfect alignment and there is so much more of his creation beyond what human eyes can see from earth, such as stars and other planets. It is surprisingly cold at 9:45 at night, and I was actually shivering (Partially because I was wearing shorts and partially because I had no shoes)! Doing this project has really opened my eyes to see the wonders of the Almighty God and it is relaxing to just admire the landscape around you and forget all the craziness of everyday life just for a while.
