Since I am a newcomer to Billings, I am trying to take in community activities as much as I can. Sunday afternoon I treated myself to the Rimrock Opera's presentation of Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro. It was a feast for eyes and ears - beautifully done.
Last night I went to the Montana State University-Billings' United Campus Ministries' annual dinner. I found myself seated at a table with pastors, artists, and a spiritual director. As if that were not enough, astronaut Frank Borman was our featured speaker. First we got an audiovisual replay of his reading a portion of the Book of Genesis on December 24, 1968 as he and two other astronauts circled the moon. He said that the NASA authorities had told him to "read something appropriate."
What I remember most about his speech is that he said earth was the only thing in space that had any color to it. Everything else was black and white. I'll have to think about that some more.
All this, and on Sunday mornings I get to officiate at worship services in the beautiful chapel pictured above. Life is good.
In peace,
