What's Happening Up There?

On Monday, August 21, 2017, there will be a total solar eclipse that will run across the United States starting from the west coast, Oregon to the east coast, South Carolina.  This hasn't happened in the United States for ninety-nine years.

This is a pretty significant event, however, many people have no clue.  My children didn't know anything about it until I mentioned it to them a week ago.  My daughter, Kimberly said that she then went to work and told people there and no one knew what she was talking about.

I told Kim I think it's time people get their eyes off of facebook and twitter.  Because, if their friends aren't mentioning it there, they won't know anything about it.  She laughed and agreed.

But seriously?  This is a big deal and it's amazing the amount of people who are clueless.  I hope when it happens they notice at least something is going on.

However, unless you have special glasses on don't look up!  It can damage your eyes.  Even glancing at the sun can cause damage.  Sunglasses offer no protection.  Be smart about your precious vision.

I told my kids not to be distracted when you are to be driving.  Keep your eyes on the road!  There is concern across the United States that may happen.

There are way too many distractions and many people have narrowed vision.  I see people constantly looking down at their electronic devices.  It's time to notice what God is doing.  There's a lot happening out there beyond your cell phones!
