See His handiwork: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap130203.html

Should the hands of our omnipotent Lord
grasp the vastness of time itself

Mold it and melt it, shape and swirl it
fingerpaint a heavenly mural

What may appear before our eyes
a firmament, a wondrous realm

A grandiose endeavor, a gorgeous display
an unexplainable, universal array

Perhaps we know, beyond all doubt
the awesome results of His Genesis shout.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Thank you both for your encouraging words. I really thought I had replied to this, but it must have been solely to the email question you had, Victoria.
If you go in to apod one year ago today, you'll see the rosette nebula. In fact, there are different views of this nebula on several Feb. 14th's. Today is a portrait of the solar system...not too related to Valentine's Day.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
