In case you missed last night's lunar eclipse, KIRO TV here in Seattle caught it on time lapse photography. My kids and I did get to see the eclipse from our backyard, which was an answer to prayer (I prayed it wouldn't be too cloudy to see it, proof that God hears and answers even our "little" prayers). We did get to see the moon turn a muddy shade of red, but that color doesn't come through on KIRO's pictures. My daughter got a somewhat grainy picture of it last night in which the red color is visible, so I'll try to get that posted later (depending on how it looks once I upload it).
Do take a look at the pictures. There won't be another lunar eclipse visible over our continent until December of 2010.
Hello, friend. Please come by my blog and read my latest post. I am asking for prayer. You know me, I don't ask for things like this very often... I would really appreciate your help through prayer.
I was able to catch the eclipse on my way too and from picking Marissa up at Youth Group. It was too cold to more than glance at it through the car window.
Are you homeschooling ... anyway? Very few of us, if any, escape the tragedies and other disappointments of life. In the summer of 2004, we experienced a tragedy of our own with the death of our pre-born baby. It was a devastating blow, but that year we homeschooled ... anyway. We were blessed with another little one, but were soon face to face with my husband's cancer diagnosis (multiple myeloma) in early 2006. And like we did 3 years ago, we are still homeschooling...anyway. If you need support, encouragement, or just want to know what "a day in the life" is like for another family who chooses to continue homeschooling in spite of difficulties, stick around! I'm glad you're here, and that I can be here, too, to share the ups and downs (even the days when I feel like I'm skidding sideways) of our homeschooling family: Dad, Mom, two teenagers, a preteen, and a toddler. Any typos I will blame on Bethany, who likes to smack the keyboard while I'm holding her and trying to type one-handed. ;-)
