The Star Of Bethlehem
I’m not sure how many of you readers have been noticing the night sky for the past couple of months or so, but there’s been a bit of a dance going on every evening. The planets Jupiter and Venus have been having this mating ritual in the southwestern skies at around sunset time. Unfortunately at this time the window where they passed the closest in the sky was at the end of November. But don’t let that discourage you because I believe that this dance will continue to happen for a couple of more months.
Oddly enough, as I travel through the skies this Christmas eve heading to San Francisco to see the woman that I love the most in this world and looking out the window, I can’t help but think of the story of a certain person that was born around this time and visited by 3 wise men. And I can’t help but compare the brilliance of tonight’s night sky with that documented so many years ago.
And with that I want to wish everyone, regardless of your beliefs, many blessings. We all deserve them. And I also hope that you are near those that you love the most. For they are the most precious thing in life.
