In the videos, Dr Tackett keeps asking these crazy questions. In our most recent lesson-What is Science-he pointed out this scripture.

Psalm 19:1
The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

Along with it he asked something along the lines of: have you ever been in a meadow in the mountains, completely away from light, and just gazed at the skies and been in awe?

My heart started beating faster as I went back to a memory from this past semester. In early November, a group of us went camping. One group of people left about an hour before the group I was in. Somehow, my group got completely lost and we ended up spending about seven hours in the car together. We thought we were going to run out of gas and all five of us would have to sleep in the car. Thankfully we found a gas station and the campsite just in time. But here's the best part.

At one point we were in the boonies of all boonies and on a road that was beyond sketch. It was PITCH black and there wasn't anything around. Our driver turned off the lights of the car and eventually turned the car off. What happened next was one of the most beautiful moments of my life. I rolled down the window and kind of hung out of the car and just looked up. It was a gorgeous silence with an even more powerful sight. There were more stars visible in the vast sky than I had ever seen in my life. I wanted to start crying and singing praise to God for the wonders he had put in creation for us to see. I mean, I spent the semester in the mountains. Mountains are enough to make someone just be in complete awe of creation. But that night, in the mountains, on a road surrounded by meadows, looking at the sky-I saw God's fingerprint.

Even just thinking about that moment right now, I'm still in awe. I pray someday I can go to a place like that again.

The next morning, we watched the sunrise. If you're ever on the top of a mountain, look behind you when the sun is rising. It's wonderful.

I love memories. :)
