There's a Moth in our Midst

Insects have fascinated me since 5th grade. We were assigned to do some bug collecting. Label them with the proper name and include the scientific name of five of them. I must say my partner and I had a fabulous A+ bug collection. My favorite insect since then has been the sphinx moth. They are a rather large moth and sometimes get mistaken for hummingbirds. I saw one on the sidewalk the other day and got really excited. I don't see them very often and when I do, I consider it a special treat. I took some pictures with my phone, but since it's not smart (and I don't have the proper cord) I can't upload the actual one I took, but here's a link to a replacement!

To Boldy Go

Little did I know how prophetic my last post would be, or maybe ironic is a better word. "To boldly go" was a lesson I needed to learn, or rather, take comfort in in the past two weeks.
Two verses come to mind that confirm those thoughts.
"Now go, I will help you speak and teach you what to say." Exodus 4:12
"When I called, you answered me; you made me bold and stouthearted." Psalm 138: 3
On whatever frontier I attempt, I must boldly go.

The Final Frontier Revisited

The "Final Frontier" seems a fitting title for my last post and subsequent overly long hiatus from writing.

How about now we go with "Another Frontier: to Boldly Go"?
