Did you see the moon tonight?
I think it's really great that there's only one moon. I mean its great that there's only one sun too, but the sun isn't something you can just sit and stare at an contemplate. I think its really great that we don't live on Jupiter or Saturn with their multiple moons. That could just be confusing. I mean, you could be looking at one moon and someone else is looking at a different moon, and if you were talking about the moons you'd have to refer to their specific names and you couldn't just say "hey! did you see the moon tonight?" Right? One moon really simplifies things, which is nice because life and the universe really are complex enough as it is. Its great that on opposite sides of the planet we're still looking at the same celestial chunk of rock, even if one person is seeing it rise as the other watches it set. Its just nice that some things are consistent. As our world changes on the daily, the moon is still just hanging out up there, doing its thing, waxing and waning, pulling the tides around, just like it has been doing for thousands, or maybe billions of years. Kind of a nice reminder that God is also that consistent. Only having one God just simplifies things. That consistency, that singularity has the power to bring us all together.
