Entry #5- Mirrors

I read somewhere once that on the moon, there is no dust.

You see, dust is made of dirt, skin cells, pollen, fabric fibers, etc. It's often kicked up by volcanic eruption, wind, and other things found on earth. Moondust is, in itself, an oxymoron.

Because there is no dust, when a raised object from the moon's surface is covered, you can't see under it. In essence, if you were to stand on the moon and hold up an umbrella, you would completely disappear to the people around you. We can see objects underneath coverings here on earth because of light reflected on microscopic dust particles bouncing off that covered object, making it illuminated and visible.

God has illustrated a very holy concept in His creation: on the moon, of all places!

What a thing to strive for: to hold up a reflective surface that points towards the Son and to completely disappear in the midst of His radiance. His glory would shoot out, piercing the darkness, while the Christian stands with outstretched arms, unrecognizable due to the comparison between the Light of life and the dull, unlit flesh: dead when devoid of His shining brilliance.

I pray that Earth becomes a little more like the moon.
