The beauty of the setting sun in soothing and peaceful. One hue fades into another as the light slips into darkness. The darkness calls out to stars which answer with their billiant light. Upon glancing up, I am gently reminded by the desert night's sky of the promise made to a man centuries ago in this very region. A promise that continues to be fulfilled through the lives of all who are willing to count the cost of obedience. As I strained my eyes at the scene set before me, I realized attempting to count the stars would be futile. My thoughts were full of praise as I dug my toes into the thousands of grains of sand and sang out while gazing at the stars He threw out to us as a visual reminder of His promise.
