Hi everyone! Winston and I arrived safely at my parents' house. He's doing fine now, but he wasn't too happy during the car ride. He spent most of the time hiding under his plant (I put his small plant in the jar so he'd feel a little safer). I hope he wasn't hiding because of my singing. LOL!

[Victoria Delsoul]

Good to see you, Tulip. Glad you and Winston are OK.

I gotta run. A friend just came to see me. I'll be back a bit later if I can.

[JustAmy]

Good evening, Tulip. So happy that you checked in tonight.

Did you stop at the Department Store today? I didn't get to one today. :(

[JustAmy]

Hope to see you later, Victoria.

[tuliptree76]

See you later, Victoria.

I didn't get to go to a department store today. :-( I spent most of my day driving.

[JustAmy]

I'm not sure what happened to my day .... I didn't get much accomplished.

I couldn't go to the Department Store because my credit cards are in Algore's lockbox per IA's suggestion. !

Loud Noises Detected From Uranus

Keck II Observatory, Hawaii Astronomers at the world's most powerful observatory have trained their optical telescopes to Uranus, the seventh planet in our solar system. The reason for the new found interest in this cold blue world of hydrogen, helium and methane is auditory. For several weeks now astronomers from across the world have detected enormous "blast" sounds emulating from this planet that "sits on it's side".

Head Keck II astronomer Claudius Ptolemaeus the 44th told us "there are some strange things going on out in that region of the solar system. For at least two weeks now our SETI friends have been picking up a tremendous amount of unexpected noise from Uranus. The odd sounds, measuring an unbelievable 5 db on Earth, have traveled over one billion miles from the cold and distant gaseous planet". "We want to know what this is all about. It probably has something to do with this sphere laying on it's side and all those methane and sulfur gases getting mixed together", stated Ptolemaeus the 44th.

Ptolemaeus the 44th elaborated further "virtually all earth based telescopes and the Hubble Space Telescope are scrutinizing this gas bomb in hopes of picking up some visible clue associated with the audible observations".

Glad you and Winston made it to your folks okay. :^)

He spent most of the time hiding under his plant (I put his small plant in the jar so he'd feel a little safer). I hope he wasn't hiding because of my singing. LOL!

LOL! I don't think so.

Now ..... if it were MY singing, then for SURE that is why, haha!

My wife's birthday was last Thursday. I ALWAYS remember stuff like birthdays, anniversaries, etc., but we BOTH forgot it until the evening. She has an ESL English class on Monday and Thursday evenings and we were on the way back when she remembered it.

I felt SOoooo bad forgetting her birthday. So I've been singing "Happy Birthday to you" ever since. When she wakes up every morning I sing it to her. I tell her I'm making up for forgetting it Thursday. About 1/4 way into the singing she always injects "FINISH!" My singin' is SOooooo awful. LOL!

The planet of change is Uranus. Discovered in 1781, it is a very late addition to human consciousness. The year of its discovery coincided with the industrial revolution, and it is noted for its connections with electricity and technology. This is evident in the changes wrought by the staggering growth of the internet during the time it has been in its home sign, Aquarius. The change it represents, however, is high-powered, and often destabilises our lives and overwhelms us.

This year, Uranus moves from Aquarius to Pisces, traditionally a difficult placement, but this time enhanced by a special relationship with Neptune. The shocking energy of Uranus will be either refracted and distorted or redeemed by the watery Neptune. This should bring a generally positive influence, but the keyword will be weird. It is likely we will see the emergence of some strange new religions and some equally bizarre science.

To achieve anything, we need to come into balance with these changes, to be able to cope in order to act. One powerful way to achieve that balance is to tap into the energy of life itself through the use of flower essences. I am familiar with Australian flower essences and will use them as examples, but every essence kit will offer its own balances if you look for how they resonate with Uranus and the other planets.

Stars & Sand

Read:
Psalm 147:1-11

He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by name. -Psalm 147:4

Bible In One Year: Joshua 7-9

A team led by an Australian astronomer calculated the number of stars in the known universe to be 70 sextillion-7 followed by 22 zeros. That unfathomable number is said to be more than the grains of sand in every beach and every desert on earth. The calculation was the by-product of research on the development of galaxies. One team member said, "Finding the number of stars is not really the research we were doing, but it was a nice result to play around with."

Having an estimate of the number of stars can help us praise God with greater awe and wonder. Psalm 147 says: "It is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant, and praise is beautiful. . . . He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by name. Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite" (vv.1,4-5).

This psalm not only presents God's majesty, but it also affirms His personal concern for each of us. He "heals the brokenhearted" (v.3), "lifts up the humble" (v.6), and "takes pleasure in those who fear Him, in those who hope in His mercy" (v.11).

Let's praise the great God of stars and sand who knows and cares for each one of us. -David McCasland

The God who made the firmament,
Who made the deepest sea,
The God who put the stars in place
Is the God who cares for me. -Berg

All creation points to the almighty Creator.
