CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

I went to a Chris Tomlin + Matt Redman + Louis Giglio concert tonight, and one of the things they brought up was this huge lecture on space and the beauty of astronomy. It was really awesome, but this was the best part.

Several thousand lightyears away is a galaxy called "the whirlpool galaxy", and it's quite gorgeous. At the center, the Hubble Space Telescope captured this:

When I saw that, I thought I was going to cry...it literally took my breath away. No wonder the Psalmist says that the heavens declare the work of His hands, and day by day and night by night they pour forth speech. Truly, all of creation testifies to our Savior,the lamb "slain before the beginning of the world."

Just wanted to share with all of you.

Oh that's beautiful! It looks like a cross!

It's funny, right as I came on this thread, that song that goes "The heavens declare you are glorious, great is your name in all the earth" was playing in my head. ^^ I thought that was kind of funny!

Thanks for the link. That was cool.

Oooh, how pretty!! I thought it looked like a cross too!! Thanks for sharing that, it's beautiful! It really does show God's handiwork in the universe! n.n

That reminds me of this.

But def. much much cooler.

Truly awesome.
I felt myself tear up as well.
I feel sorry for people that will look at it and not think of a cross.
This is my fav nebula.

it looks like the eye of God.

I don't think it looks like a cross....

It looks more like that giant Jesus statue in Brazil.

Oh, my gosh! I went to the exact same concert Ash, and saw the same message and presentation! It was incredible!

Did the whole room go completely silent when the showed the slide from the Passion of the Christ? Our auditorium, filled with probably 10,000 people was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop. It was completely awe-inspiring.

Yeah, it did! Actually it was funny, Chris said they had just played in Houston the night before, and I got up and whooped. Then I thought I was going to be stoned XD

Did you hold up your cell phone and sway? I turned around (I was sitting like, 10 rows from the stage *O*!!) and it looked like a bunch of fireflies. It was so cool.

And yeah, that presentation left me speechless. I wanted to be an astronaut all over again, besides stop and worship God with everything I had in me. It was really, really awesome, and I'm glad you got to see them Osaka. =3

We did!!

I was up really close too, and when I looked back to the tons of rows behind me and the balcony, it was incredible how gorgeous a bunch of cell phones could be! That right there was very cool.

When I was last at a Chris Tomlin concert and he said, "Everyone hold up your cellphones." My friend Kassi shrugged, held her phone up turned off, and said to me, "I don't see why we're doing this." XD She is the greatest blonde ever. In fact, this was at Passion last year. I also went to Matt Redmen's workshop on how to write prasie and worship music.
Gorgeous picture Ashley-san. I felt since the eigth grade my mission field was the sciences and other scientists. This is right up my alley.

That is realy cool....

Both of thoes pictures are amaizing. They don't make me want to cry, but they are amaizing none the less.

...I've always thought the cell phone thing is silly... but, to each his own I guess.

But the Passion Crew are awesome.
