HAPPY ECLIPSE DAY!

It's almost here.  The total eclipse is on April 8, 2024.  We should be able to see it as it is supposed to be clear here.  I remember seeing one in Virginia when I was about in 4th grade. The sun was completely covered and it was very dark.  We were then able to take off our eclipse glasses and look at the sun. It was something like a winter afternoon in Fairbanks, Alaska! I remember my brother Jay had to take a flashlight to school so he could see his way home at 4 pm in Fairbanks. Here is a good article on the eclipse with all the information you need--  even to dealing with eclipse glasses. Here is the time and date for viewing in Spokane.

Chris shot a picture of the partial eclipse in 2017.  Have you ever seen an eclipse?

Proverbs 8:22 “The Lord possessed me at the beginning of his work,

    the first of his acts of old.
23 Ages ago I was set up,
    at the first, before the beginning of the earth.
24 When there were no depths I was brought forth,
    when there were no springs abounding with water.
25 Before the mountains had been shaped,
    before the hills, I was brought forth,
26 before he had made the earth with its fields,
    or the first of the dust of the world.
27 When he established the heavens, I was there;
    when he drew a circle on the face of the deep,
28 when he made firm the skies above,
    when he established the fountains of the deep,
29 when he assigned to the sea its limit,
    so that the waters might not transgress his command,
when he marked out the foundations of the earth,
30     then I was beside him, like a master workman,
and I was daily his delight,
    rejoicing before him always,
31 rejoicing in his inhabited world
    and delighting in the children of man.
