Today
Asteroid 2012 DA14 will pass within about 21,000 miles of earth (sound the
kettledrums...) within the moon's orbit,
faintly visible at night with strong binoculars or telescopes.
Scientists say it's not going to hit us, don't worry. Life on earth has plenty
of dangers, visible and invisible, microscopic and cosmic, known and unknown,
which can sweep us away, and the apostle Paul is urging the church at Corinth
in this part of his letter to begin living their lives as beloved, redeemed
people now, in this time, on this day. Not waiting for some future date, some
other life, some other time. Now.
You desire truth, O God, in the inmost being, therefore
teach me wisdom in my secret heart. Amen
- Start a Lenten journal;
write even just a sentence, a thought, or a paragraph each day. Go out
tonight and marvel at the night sky.
