Day 44: The Curvature of the Earth

 



"There are lessons you can learn from stories you don't believe in."
Bart Ehrman


This is a picture of the earth taken from Orion Spacecraft after it did it's burn that is sending it toward the moon.  Looking at it, I just saw one thing... the curvature of the earth.  I don't think I really needed to be convinced... but it's nice to see.  I don't need it to prove to anyone that it is what it is... but it calms my soul that I'm not the one misinformed in my understanding of the planet.  

I like Bart Erhman's quote.  Maybe my journeying through Authentic Lent doesn't have to end this year.  There might be something for me to chew on next year.  I have an idea... but it will take a year for me to want to implement it.
