Stars in the Sky

Look at this! 

Thanks to our friends Chuck & Kathy, our precious Green Beans will be forever honored by having their own stars named after them! 

I never knew this sort of thing existed, until I received the official paperwork from the Star Registry in the mail the other day.  Apparently you can register a star, name it, and dedicate it to a loved one.

Josh immediately located each star on Google Sky and then plotted them on this image.  They are all located around the Pisces constellation.

It’s comforting to know that we can now look up in the sky to locate our very special stars…

  3. That is very special! The verse that immediately came to mind is:

    Psalm 147:4 He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name.

  6. What a fantastic gift!! After my father died, I always looked to the sky and said that the brightest star up there was him...I think I might name a star after him, too!!
