THE FIRST SPOTLESS DAY IN 4 YEARS: Click on this image and take a careful look around the solar disk. Can you find any sunspots? We can’t either:
Greetings Beloved Kin,
The Season of Lent is an offering to Follow in the footsteps of Jesus to Calvary. We are called to become disciples of the Word to become Light of Christ’s Spirit on Earth.
Sunday is the Lord’s Day. By Jewish tradition, the Sabbath includes 2 Days, Saturday and Sunday, from Sundown to Sundown. By Mayan tradition Days are ordered from Sunrise to Sunrise, as 2 Days. God is with us by Day and by Night.
On the First Sunday of Lent we take the first steps toward our Salvation. Through the confession of our sin and God’s promise of Forgiveness, we are purified and blessed. We’re called to dedicated this Time to the Lord.

THE EVERSHED EFFECT: Something is sucking plasma out of big sunspots. This week, David Wilson observed the process in action from his backyard observatory in Inverness Scotland. Behold, sunspot 4374:
Psalm 96:11-12 NIV
11 Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad;
let the sea resound, and all that is in it.
12 Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them;
let all the trees of the forest sing for joy.
The Holy of Holies created Love as far as the Eyes of the Heart can see.

THESE ARE NOT AURORAS: Montana is a good place to see auroras, so on Feb 17th when Jane Horton of Helena MT saw towering lights in the night sky, she naturally wondered. “Are these auroras?” Not exactly:
By the Divine Order of Time we’re called to follow in the footsteps of the Savior. It’s been estimated that Jesus and the disciples covered a distance of 2500 miles over the course of his mission on Earth. (Source: Quora, Pastor, Mark Brown)
Mary and Joseph traveled between 70 and 90 miles to Bethlehem, depending on the route. This is a long way for anyone, let alone a woman nine months pregnant. Some say she would have walked rather than ridden a donkey, as is often depicted. Either way, it would have been an intensely wearying trip! (Source: CatholicCompany.com)
The 40 Days of Lent is a journey of sorrows. It’s easy to focus on our own suffering and our fears of tomorrow. When we bear the suffering for a Divine Cause, the Offering will be more than enough.

A MEETING IN THE TWILIGHT SKY: Last night, the whisker-thin crescent Moon had a rare close encounter with Mercury. Dr. Gilbert Plumer photographed the conjunction from Rockledge, Florida:
The Offering of highest value is Time. By our nature we focus on the “object of our affection”. The object of our affection can be seen clearly in the measure of our thoughts. Tracking our thoughts is a process of metacognition. Logarithms are a compilation of data that reflects what’s on our mind in order of relevance and personal priorities.
When we make God the Highest Object of our Affection, Love will be multiplied to abundance. 2 is the symbol of the Choice we make, After we receive the Light. Human discernment is based on duality. We consider one way or another.
Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV
5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
