Yesterday evening at sundown I drove up to a small hill not more than a mile away from my daughter’s house.
Though Interstate 35 was buzzing with traffic – it was to my east and I was looking west.
I was on the outskirts of a neighborhood with dozens and dozens of houses and apartments.
My goal was to catch a glimpse and photograph the crescent moon with comet Pan-Starrs.
It did not pan out!

A cloud bank had moved just where the sun was setting and for a brief few seconds I caught sight of the moon. I knew the comet was nearby and a little above it but in the haze and glow of the sunset I could not see it.

But just because I could not see it doesn’t mean it wasn’t there.

Seeing is not always believing. I believe the comet exists and is in the western sky even though I have not witnessed it myself. I have seen the photographs and read the reports of others that have seen it and I believe them.

It’s funny how many want proof positive of the reality of God. They don’t see Him in everyday life. They don’t recognize His handiwork in the creation. They are blinded by the glow or their sight is obscured by some cloud of everyday life and so they don’t believe He is because they have never seen Him.

If the Good News we preach is hidden behind a veil, it is hidden only from people who are perishing. Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God. 2 Cor 4:3-4

I will continue an attempt to photograph the comet over the next few evenings; and I will continue to present the Gospel to those that do not know the Savior. I pray they will see the truth and believe.
