Chocolate Anyone?

The eclipse. We shall see one tonight. It's exciting because it happens only rarely, and only certain areas of the world are able to view it at one time. The eclipse of the moon will take place around 2:30 EST. Anyone watching? My sister is serving hot chocolate to all those coming over to her house to watch.

I like to think of the eclipse as another example of our own journey in life. For some time tonight, the earth will block the light that reflects off the moon, and it will be in total darkness. The moon will not change. The sun will not change. The difference in the moon is not brought about by some terrible sin or failure. It is the normal sequence of a natural flow of planets.

We should remind ourselves of such when our own lives seem to be going through some type of "eclipse". It is normal, it is part of our cycle of life, and it will pass.
