Leapin’ and hoppin’ on a moonshadow.

My mom took this amazing picture of the moon and didn’t even show it to me. Luckily, I check her picasa account every now and again to see if anything new is going on. Speaking of the moon, Jared was watching a show last night about how the Hubble telescope has transformed the way we look at the universe. Those shows always boggle my mind. Physics is not my forte. My mind, I guess, is just too simple to process dark matter, black holes, galaxies and the speed of light. I can, however, look into the night sky and be engrossed by the magic that is overhead. I feel wonder, joy, hope, and awe looking up at the stars. Mostly though, I just feel small. I wonder how I fit in and where I should be going. I wonder about meaning and what I should be doing. This life really is a test. So many bumps, potholes, and sharp turns to navigate. I suppose the trick is to pray hard, do the best we can today and try to do a little better than that tomorrow. Maybe that will be my new mantra.

Twilight: The movie was ok...could have had a few more details, but not bad. I guess that is true of most movies made from books....looking forward to "Inkheart"...
