The Comet of Fall 2013
“In September of 2012, two Russian Astronomers discovered an object, previously unseen, moving against the background of stars. Over the next few days, this object was proposed to be a comet, heading closer to the Sun.
This was the beginning of our knowledge regarding the comet ISON, and since that time, we have been able to determine the exact path of the comet, and many more details about its journey.
Initial news reports indicated that it might appear as bright as the full moon, even being visible with the naked eye in daylight hours.
As the comet progressed, the predictions have changed quite a bit, and current estimations are about magnitude -2. That would appear brighter than our brightest star, but much, much less than the moon.
No matter the outcome, these beautiful displays are exciting, and awe-inspiring. Look for the comet to be closest to the sun on November 28th. The days leading up to the 28th, or immediately after, may prove to be quite a show.
Will it out-perform current estimations to become the comet of the century? Keep tuned in, and sign up for our weekly email updates for more news on this and other spectacular signs in the heavens.”

The beauty of God's creation shows order and design so complex that it could never have been formed by a chance explosion 14 billion years ago. As we study the sciences and learn more about creation, we begin to understand how little we really know.A look at mankind himself reveals amazing design, and we read in Psalms that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. The book of Isaiah tells us that Earth was specially formed to be inhabited. It was created with purpose, and is full of wonders without number.
It is only through our sin that destruction, death, and disease has crept into the world, but even this was made provision for... God sent His only Son, the Creator of the Universe, to pay the penalty for our sins, and offer eternal life in a new heavens and a perfect new earth.
With this promise to look forward to, we have nothing to fear. If you don't know Jesus Christ as your Savior, it only takes a sincere heart and a simple prayer. It will change your life forever, and offer you peace that passes all understanding.
