This weekend we went almost camping with our granddaughter’s Girl Scout troop. The girls camped in tents among the sand dunes of Assateague Island. They had a wonderful time playing in the sand and watching the wild ponies. We had been invited along so my astronomer could bring his telescope and help the girls to see the night sky. The clouds blew away long enough for a little stargazing. He brought his telescope and they could see Saturn’s rings with it. They did seem to be impressed with the vastness of the universe. Stargazing can cause a person to ponder and think about big things. Scientists believe that the universe began billions of years ago with an explosion of energy that sent stardust spreading out into space. Along the way this stardust clumped up into stars and planets. With some instructions from the Creator this stardust was formed into earth and all that lives upon the earth. I like the thought that we are all made out of stardust.
I said we went almost camping because as the girls crawled into their tents for the night we headed up the road to a quaint, historic hotel and slept in a comfortable hotel.

Stardust sounds perfect for the moment. We almost went camping too..actually gave it a good shot but poor HHM came down with the flu, so homeward we came back on Sunday. So stardust is just right. The good Lord can do whatever He pleases.
I love to look at the vastness. I love to hike along the forested trails and see all the lush green, the earth blanketed in moss and flowers pushing through. The Creator knows his biz!
Hehe, you are one smart cookie!
I think you had the best of both - stargazing and a comfortable bed. And how beautifully you've described the creation of the universe. Stardust - beautiful!
Thanks for coming! The girls really enjoyed it, although I noticed a lot of parents in that telescope line too.
Ahhh, the perfect camping trip! Sounds heavenly...
