Spectacular Sky Shows – Auroras, Halos, Mirages, Arcs, and Moonbows

My son is a painter. He spends hours over the course of days trying to create a new painting. He uses a live model, searches out props and waits patiently for the paint to dry before adding layers. It’s tedious work, but he gives much effort to it in hopes of producing a first class piece of art that is enjoyable to the viewer. His work can be found here.

A Desert Strike

Should we think it takes less effort for the amazing pictures we can see in the sky? Think Auroras, halos, mirages, arcs, moonbows and such. Random? Accidental? Chance? Not a chance. indeed I am confident there is a designer behind the beauty we enjoy here on land and in the sky. I think that the Earth is a gift, to be treasured, cherished, protected, dare I say loved and cared for. We recycle because we are to be good stewards. We love our home because it has been given to us freely.
