The moon turned orange last night.
For the first time in my life I saw the moon turn orange.
I've heard of blue moons and moon's over Miami, but I've never heard of an orange moon.

I live 20 miles from Chicago and usually don't see a whole lot of spectacular things in the sky because the city is too bright. The stars are dim here.
The most exciting things in the sky are Southwest Airlines' jets coming in low for a landing at Midway. But yesterday there was something else to look at in the sky.

I wondered what it must have been like standing 200 years ago in the spot from which i observed this lunar miracle... before the glow of our mega-city... When the stars were bright and the full moon would illumine your world like a second sun.
How amazing an orange moon would have been. How frightening. Are the gods fighting? Was the moon on fire? Is the world coming to an end?

Such an event was probably talked about for many days afterwards. Maybe even years. What great or terrible event happened to cause this? Centuries ago they might have talked about it for generations.
But no one is really talking about the orange moon today. Oh sure it came up at breakfast, somewhere between McCain's affair and the Sox in Spring Training. But otherwise its forgotten.

We don't get moved by the spectacular as much as people did years ago. We can pop in the spectacular anytime with DVDs. We can search for the spectacular on YouTube.
But real spectacular things are happening every day. Far more amazing than any movie or video clip. God is on the loose! God is changing the lives of people right now. He touched your life today.

Did you see it?
