My friends, Jerry and Cindy, live in Papua New Guinea where Jerry Visits remote areas of the country to Record the Bible in tribal languages. "One of the best things about staying In the village," he reported, "is being Away from all the lights so you can See the Milky Way." And he posted a picture of the Magnificent sight, The fantastic night lights that Span the heavens. As a child on the farm I was able to see The spectacle as well. I feel deprived here in the city where the Artificial light hides the celestial band of Billions upon billions of stars. And just like the diamonds shine their Brightest In a pitch black sky, I've discovered in my heartaches that Many of God's tender mercies only come To light when it is very, very dark. |
