Roughly speaking, in Connecticut, Monday’s End of the World total solar eclipse will be visible at roughly 2 p.m., but for more specificity, go here. For those of you not blessed to live in The Land Of Steady Habits, go here.
Eclipses are not specifically mentioned in the Book, but any darkening of the sun and/or moon was considered an indication that God was angry and/or a miracle was coming.
I used to worship Angry God and that’s completely harshed my mellow, I can tell you. If it’s Angry God coming a-calling, I’ll just wave and move on. Instead, let’s say that something miraculous will happen on Monday and I cannot wait.
With that in mind, have a wonderful weekend and circle back here and we’ll discuss miracles on Monday.
An eclipse of the sun is a pivotal event in "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court." https://etc.usf.edu/lit2go/174/a-connecticut-yankee-in-king-arthurs-court/3049/chapter-6-the-eclipse/
Olga and I are excited about the solar eclipse. Olga even bought some eclipse-watching glasses to be safe when we step out on Monday (she's on Spring break from her elementary school job, so both of us will be home!). We know we're not in the main eclipse zone (where I hear hotel costs for the curious are ridiculous) but we'll see what we can see! (And for us Jesus is on the scene every time someone does a "little bit of justice" for someone else. I think something like that is what you mean, Susan, when we leave behind the notion of the "angry God." Too much of that floating around the world these days.
