I am so grateful for the colorful skies! This scene was in the East as the sun was setting in the West. The skies are so awesome. Pre-pandemic, when I could minister in the jail, I used to get locked in with the guys that were behind five padlocked doors and gates. There was a small hole in the roof in that cell, so things got wet when it rained, and sometimes the moon passed into view. Everyone would state their highlight of lowlight each week, and one cowboy who, if I remember right, got drunk and killed someone just got transferred to this cell. In his previous cell, he had no view of the sky, but here, when he could see the moon, it was a major highlight. A MAJOR highlight. Can you imagine going from living outdoors as a cowboy to getting locked in a cell for six months with no view of the sky and nothing to do or read? I cannot imagine it, but I know the sky is awesome, and we are richer for pondering how awesome it is and what it demonstrates to us about God.
These two ladies will still be having this same conversation 60 years from now, with different people but the same topics.
