Alright so last night we went up to lake Sutherland to watch the Perseid meteor shower. I read on a few websites that the show was going to peak last night and so was pretty excited about seeing a nice show. Lake Sutherland is kinda a crazy place and it was hard to get some of the guys to come because frankly, they thought they would die. Not that its dangerous or anything, but after the lazer beam from space and the serial killer outside the car that one time, a few of the boys would've rather not gone back to this "pit of death".
We arrived at like 11:30 with only 1 creepy car following Jonathan on the long and windy road there. The sky looked amazing and not long after laying down on the road did we see some pretty rad shooting stars. Brandon attempted to take a minute-or-so long picture but I'm not sure if holding the shutter button down with your shaky finger works very well. The stars were more alive than normal and we saw the bright white streaks at least once per minute. What I had read before said that the peak of the shower would be early-early Monday morning so I figured that as the night went on we would see more and more meteors, unfortunately things seemed to calm down but with the conversation understandably turning to weird and creepy things I was having a good time. As the night came to a close I did get to see one of the best meteors of my life, it literally skipped across the atmosphere, making a bright streak-dark-streak pattern like a rock skipping on a pond.
It's a pretty cool thing, that space, with countless stars and galaxies and whatever. It's just so weird and hard to comprehend that the Creator of all of that, the guy who made all those little dots of light and set in motion comets and orbits and everything so perfectly, that He not only knows me, my name, my dreams, the good bad and ugly, but that He loves me, like a ton. That's just crazy, and I think we need to stop every once in a while and think about what's going on exactly. I know that in my life at least I so often doubt or disagree with what God has going on for me right now. I can formulate a perfect sequence of events for my life and get disappointed and flustered when they don't fall into place. I need to have more faith I guess, to realize that if God made all those stars so perfectly, stars that I'm pretty sure he doesn't love as much as he loves me, then I can trust that the plan he made for my life is even more perfect. And if he was able to make all those stars and galaxies and planets then wouldn't his thoughts and plans for my life be better than plans that I could even come up with. Anyways, I dunno if this sounds really cheesy or lame, I guess its more for me to reflect back on someother time. I gotta get back to work though, only 1 week left!
