I have begun training for the Half Marathon in Richmnond this November... 

Each morning I arise at 5:00 and set out on my run.  On Tuesday 9/2 I was running down a street in my neighborhood that is lined by trees on both sides.  There are very little lights to inhibit the view of the night sky so I was just looking up at God's beautiful creation.  All the sudden I saw a shooting star, or meteorite!  I thought of how God told Abram of how his descendants would be far greater than the number of stars in the heavens (Genesis 15:4-6).  I found this slide on heartlight.org which captures the majesty of God's handiwork.  I am glad that I was looking up that morning to see this sight!  I pray for the desire to see God at work in all things.  Sometimes God just surprises us with a shooting star!  Grace and peace, Pastor Bob
