I heard a while ago that the moon would be passing really close to earth last Saturday, and I wanted to take some pictures of it. So I began to read different websites about how to photograph the moon, the best lenses to use (which I don’t have), what time it would be coming out, how long it would be around, where to look for it in the sky, and other things.

Saturday night around 7:40 when I went out to see if the moon had risen, I was greeted with a cloudy sky. So I went back in and waited. I went back out a little later, and I still couldn’t see anything, not even the super moon.

I had to keep checking, and finally, around 10 PM I went back outside, saw it, and took some pictures. Some of them even turned out pretty good.

In February, I decided I would be disciplined to run at least 2 miles everyday. I did it. I focused on making it a priority everyday, and as a result, I lost about 8.5 pounds simply because I got moving.

I didn’t do very well at documenting our life. I haven’t posted a daily summary picture in a long time. I need to try to do that in March. I also only wrote here 3 times. What? Wow that surprised me.

I have been pretty focused on work and on writing on www.ministeriojuvenil.com, our Spanish youth ministry website.

How did you do in February with your 2012 goals?

In Luke 7 we read about a woman who anointed Jesus’ feet with perfume, washed them with her tears, and wiped them off with her hair. When he sees this, the host of the party begins to think to himself about the sinfulness of the woman.

Jesus, explaining to His host what is happening, tells the story of two men who owe debts to another man. One of them owes a debt of 500 pence, and the other owes a debt of simply 50 pence. Since neither of them had anything to pay with, the man to whom the debt was owed simply forgave their debts.

Jesus asks Simon which one will love him the most, and Simon correctly responds that the one who owed the most and was forgiven the most would love the most.

Today was a clear day, and one of the few in which we can see the volcanoes from our side of Mexico City. So I climbed the pedestrian bridge right in front of the Seminary and took this picture with the Pro HDR app on my phone.

It seems to go with the verses that I’ve been reading lately. Psalm 8:1-4

O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens.

When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?

What has reminded you of God’s glory lately?
