Happy are those whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord their God, who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; who keeps faith forever

The news from Curiosity, the Mars explorer, is that it is playing in the mudstone and found chemical evidence of a lake about a billion years old. There are also underwater robotic vehicles now able to explore depths of the oceans that humans have never seen before. I can hold in my hand an electronic device that can show me pictures almost instantaneously from Mars and the ocean depths. Humans are born with a divine spark that ignites when the world around us speaks in the universal language of wonder. It is at those moments I catch myself smiling, just happy to know the one who made the stars, the oceans and you and me.

Wow, Lord. Amen.
