I would take pictures of stars, but they seem to have disappeared. Our future children may never see the richness and beauty of our stars and intergalactic activity. A full moon will only be a day marked on the calender and a shooting star will exist only in fairy tales. Sadly in todays world, people have devoted business and extracurricular activities over the simple admiration of one of God's most complex and beautiful creations. American growth and environmental admiration should not be mutually exclusive, but in this fiscal techno-advancement culture nobody is concerned with creations beauty.
When we moved into the subdivision that I live in, there was only one streetlight down the neighborhood and out by the road of my house there was no light. Often I remember going outside and laying in my neighbors driveway looking up at the sky and being just in awe of how great the sky is and how wonderful are His creations in the heavens. It all seemed so real. A few months ago a streetlight was constructed right across from my house. Now all I see is that fluorescent cloud of bright glow that invades the dark sky. I thought about it and noted that this is exactly what is happening in todays society. More streetlights are going up and less is being thought about how marvelous creation is. Within the heart of any big city try to tilt your head and look up at the night sky. All you will see is the glow of the cities financial revenue. You wont see a shooting star. You wont catch the fullness of the moon. The metropolitan desire has eroded the natural beauty. The stars are the streetlights of eternity.
If you haven't escaped from the hectic world in awhile and admired the night sky, I encourage you all to try it soon. It will be worth it.

The other night I was sitting outside enjoying the cold for once. I looked up and the sky was filled with stars. It was nice and cold and crisp and there was no haze in the sky and it was just really beautiful...
