The second star to the right...

shines in the night for you.

Ok, I promise that's my last Disney reference.  I have never seen the stars like I've seen them from the middle of the ocean this past week.  It's so hard to describe.  I wish I could take a picture, but obviously that wouldn't work.  When I step outside at night, I feel like I'm in a planetarium.  The sky forms a perfect dome over the ocean.  You don't even have to look up to see the stars; they are literally all around you. 

We've seen shooting stars too!  On Sunday night, there was a meteor shower.  I was only outside for five minutes, and I saw five shooting stars.  (I wish I could've stayed longer, but our report card grades were due the next morning.)  Last night, a few of my friends and I slept outside on the top deck of the ship.  It was cold and windy, but I wasn't going to miss the opportunity to fall asleep beneath the shooting stars.  So amazing.

"He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name."  Psalm 147:4

  2. It is so weird to hear you describe something so different and amazing and then in the next sentence something as normal as "report card grades are due." What a strange world my friend has sailed off to. I love you!!
