One of the hightlights of working night shift is the drive to work! Tonight is a warm, humid night. The moon is almost full and casting yellow light on my hands as I drive, and the stars are twinkling alongside the bright moon. Soft music is playing and I can't help but think of God, the Creator of the heavens and the earth. Words from Psalm 8 come to mind "When I look at the night sky and see the work of Your fingers—the moon and the stars you set in place—what are mere mortals that you should think about them.."
I must admit, my heart has been heavy tonight with some great concerns. However, I am thankful for the joy that the "night sky" brings.
I arrive at work, my 84 year old father is in the lobby greeting me with some Pennsylvania-Dutch treats, "whoopie pies" to share with my co-workers.
So I begin another night shift.
