I'm at risk of being labeled a "nerd" here, but I spent my lunch hour today standing in line to see planet Mercury transit the sun. This astonomical event occurs only a handful of times each century, and since the Biola Astronomy Club was in full-force today with special telescopes on hand, I thought I'd take a little peek! In scope, it was like looking at a tiny dot on a petrie dish. That dot is actually a planet the size of our moon. And earth...not much bigger. Is it possible that God has this giant universe in order, down to the tiniest of specks (us)? Inconceivable.

Not "nerdy" at all, and I believe Mercury transits the sun once every 10 years. So for those that missed it; you can see it again in 2016. I remember singing a song when I was in sunday school "He has the whole world in his hands" Mercury, i'm sure, would be included.
