Once in a blue moon

Note to self: Green bag is only a carry-on if nothing is placed in the front pockets. A small incident trying to get my bag in the overhead, but folks were more patient than I might have been. Traveling mercies indeed.

Seated waiting for my flight to Tel Aviv, the moon is stunning. Turns out tonight is a blue moon as in once in a blue moon. It's the rare occurrence of two full moons in one calendar month.

A great way to begin the Sabbatical.

Guide us waking, Lord, and guard us sleeping, that awake we may watch with Christ, and asleep we may rest in peace.
