total lunar eclipse april 14,2014

Total lunar eclipse, it was 30 years ago, when I first saw it. I was at college 3rd floor doom alone in the midnight watching the whole course. It must be a weekend or holiday, all my roommates were not in. it lasts couple of hours. I can still remember clearly myself that night sitting on the desk against the window. That is an awesome natural phenomenon. 
June 11, 1983 Total Lunar Eclipse, I’m not sure is this the one that I saw.
Since then I haven't get any chance to view it, I should to see it tonight with kids. But it's so late at night; the kids need to get up early in the morning for the school.

A total lunar eclipse takes place on 15 April 2014(eastern coast time). It is the first in a tetrad (four total lunar eclipses in series). Subsequent eclipses in the tetrad are 8 October 2014, 4 April 2015, and 28 September 2015. Miss those; you'll have to wait until 2032.

This is an awesome experience to view the whole process of the total lunar eclipse last late night around 11:58 pm through the early morning the second day around 12:05am. The kids get tired and didn’t get to observe the whole thing.
The moon begin with the thin halo around it, around 1/3 of the eclipse the halo become bigger like a background of the moon, when it pass half way of the eclipse the halo disappear and the moon’s shadow become light dark brown red color. That’s why they call it a blood moon for the total lunar eclipse. I as a lunar eclipse stargazer was mesmerized as red hue lights up in the clear blue sky. Total lunar occurs when the Earth spins between the sun and the moon. And it is red “due to sunlight scattered through the earth’s atmosphere,” which reflects off the surface of the moon.

Back to around 30 years ago when I first saw the lunar eclipse, I was single, young and sweet and an atheist. I believe in nothing and nobody but myself. I believe I can reach any goal by efforts.
After 30 years later I am still single but with 2 loving kids, I am older but sweeter, and I am a Christian. I trust in God. And I know by myself not everything is possible to be accomplished, for example kick a certain bad habit or establish a good habit.
Through 14 April, 2014, the natural occurrence only affirms me more about our creator, our Lord. The stars in the sky, they are twinkling at me, it’s like they coming alive and talk with me. Even I’m alone but I don’t feel lonely at all.
And there are 3 amazing songs that playing inside my head.

Make Me a Channel of Your Peace

Only to find oneself is rather small when standing at the sea
Climbing up to the highest mountain only to find how high is the sky
The vastness of the universe, I’m really insignificant
Like dust disappeared and nobody will realize it
Night sky, the stars seemed to smile at me
Tell me softly that Him have seen everything
All my struggled, all weak and fails
Will become the marks of grace

When I cried out to the Lord He hears me
Among millions of people He actually care about my needs
There is laughter and tears as I walk through my life
All have left the Lord's marks of grace
During the storm Jesus embraces me
I know perfectly well that I can always rely on Him
There is laughter and tears as I walk through my life
All will become the marks of grace

有一天One Day

One day, you may feel discourage
One day, you may really want to give up
One day, you may feel unloved
One day, you may seem at the end
At that day, you must cheer yourself up
At that day, you have to cherish yourself
At that day, do not forget someone loves you
At that day, do not give up easily
There really is a God

His hands are eager to embrace you
He loves you, He is willing to help you
In a big crowd, though you may feel lonely
His loves can warm the colds
There really is a God
His hands are eager to embrace you
Accompany you through the long night,
He loves you all your life through
