News from August 2010
It's the same moon
Posted on August 28, 2010 by Pastor Tom
We’ve just returned from California. Thankfully, Alberta came through with a nice shocking reminder. It was 38 C in LA two days ago. Today it’s 11 here in the Edmonton area. Yes indeed we’re home.
A few nights ago in California, I noticed a full moon shining. It shone down on the millions of residents of that region. In discussion with various locals, I asked if they knew the population of the greater LA area. I received answers varying from 20–30 million. There are 88 cities in the region. Some, I’d heard of like Los Angeles, Anaheim and Santa Barbara. But then there’s Brea and Irvine along with 80+ more. With 20–30 million people, you get to experience the traffic that sized population generates. It was amazing to see multiple freeways all jam packed with cars.
On the way home from Edmonton International last night, we turned from Highway 2 onto the Anthony Henday freeway. There was us and about 2 other cars. And there was the brilliant moon, the same moon that shone over those 20–30 million Southern Californians.
It reminded me of the Lord. If we’re surrounded by millions or a few, He still has His eyes on us. May His constant presence comfort and guide you as you go into this new season of September!
