Walking With Mark 9/14/2026 This morning was packed with a few of my favorite activities. I spent time doing astrophotography (starting at 3:00 AM) , capturing the M1 Crab Nebula, and searched the sky for Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus (trees were in the way and the sun was coming up.
For my morning devotional, I spent time in Jesus Calling by Sarah Young for September 14, which covered Genesis 2:7, Psalm 89:15, and Romans 12:1-2. I also read Proverbs 14:
In Genesis 2:7 it says
Genesis 2:7 “Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and the man became a living being.”
Psalm 89:15 “Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you who walk in the light of your presence, Lord.”
Romans 12:1-2 “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God – this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve that God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will.”
In my second devotional activity I read Proverbs 14. Proverbs is in the Old Testament after Psalms. It has 31 chapters so you could ready a chapter everyday of the month! For the months with 28 days you can read more! Proverbs has a lot of wisdom My favorite today
Proverbs 14: “Stay away from a fool, for you will not find knowledge on their lips.”
On the radio side, I played a quick game at the house to make 10 contacts—acting as my own home “POTA activation” for the morning! It wasn’t really an activation but I set a goal of making 10 contacts as I would do at a park at a minimum. This helps the activators that are all doing what I like to do at the parks around here.
So in my own way as I see it I do not confirm to the pattern of this world. I wake up in the middle of the night to take out my telescope and create images to show the heavens in all its glory.
1 Corinthians 15:41 ” The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon, another; and star differs from star in splendor”
Genesis 1:16 God made two great lights – the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars.
I just got to say wow to the last one.
