Dark Adapted - That Bright Star Venus!

We have been talking about how God's light shines through us in a dark pandemic time. 

This week, at night, if you go out when there are little of no clouds you will see the moon and what looks like a very bright star. Well that's not  star but it's the planet Venus at its closest approach to the sun. If you have binoculars, take a look at the moon and you will see craters that you cannot see without binoculars.

Many astronomers believe that the planet Venus was used as God's guiding star to lead the wise-men to Bethlehem at the time of Jesus' birth. Enjoy the beautiful lights in the dark sky this week even as you shine for Christ during this time!
