The Heart of the Scorpion

Another clear night. Another opportunity to marvel at God's creation on this June night. His celestial diamonds shimmering against the black velvet night.

Brightly visble tonight are: the moon, binary Spica, Venus, Saturn, Jupiter, and Antares. The latter is the brightest star of Scorpion Constellation; the heart of the Scorpion. Tonight, it is very near the moon, perspective wise.

Moonlight Serenade (Miller & Parish)

Moonlight Serenade (1939)
Music: Glenn Miller
Words: Mitchell Parish

Vocal: Carly Simon

I stand at your gate
And the song that I sing is of moonlight
I stand and I wait
For the touch of your hand in the June night
The roses are sighing a moonlight serenade

The stars are aglow
And tonight how their light sets me dreaming
My love, do you know
That your eyes are like stars brightly beaming
I bring you, and sing you a moonlight serenade

Let us stray 'til break of day
In love's valley of dreams
Just you and I, a summer sky
A heavenly breeze, kissing the trees

So don't let me wait
Come to me tenderly in the June night
I stand at your gate
And I sing you a song in the moonlight
A love song, my darling, a moonlight serenade

[Intrumental Interlude]

So don't let me wait
Come to me tenderly in the June night
I stand at your gate
And I sing you a song in the moonlight
A love song, my darling, a moonlight serenade

Rodrigo, the Portuguese Undergarments Salesman

Here we go again. Rodgrigo want's you check out his ad (in Portuguese) for personalized undergarments at: camiseta_.personalizada_.blogspot_.com (I added the "_." to break up the URL from being linked.)

Don't bother to visit this Portuguese spammer's blog, folks. I didn't; and I deleted his comments (advertising) permanently.

The Crescent Moon, Venus, and Saturn, Oh, My!

It's one of the rare and clear evenings of summer. There they are, as of this post on this 17 June, the crescent moon, the bright Venus, and Saturn, all lit up in a row at twilight on the western sky.


The LORD'S Glory and Man's Dignity.
Psalm 8, New American Standard Bible

O LORD, our Lord,
How majestic is Your name in all the earth,
Who have displayed Your splendor above the heavens!

From the mouth of infants and nursing babes You have established strength
Because of Your adversaries,
To make the enemy and the revengeful cease.

When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have ordained;

What is man that You take thought of him,
And the son of man that You care for him?

Yet You have made him a little lower than God,
And You crown him with glory and majesty!

You make him to rule over the works of Your hands;
You have put all things under his feet,

All sheep and oxen,
And also the beasts of the field,

The birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea,
Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

O LORD, our Lord,
How majestic is Your name in all the earth!

Remember When

Happy Father's Day!
