March 18 - Sky Fire

Northern Lights

March is one of the finest months to witness the northern lights. Long spring nights still linger, and crisp air often brings remarkably clear skies—perfect conditions for watching heaven’s colors dance across the darkness.

When activity erupts on the surface of the sun, energy travels 93 million miles through space before colliding with Earth’s magnetic field. That invisible shield absorbs the impact, channeling charged particles toward the poles where they ignite the sky in radiant curtains of green, pink, and violet.

The aurora is visible evidence that the magnetosphere is quietly doing its work—protecting life on Earth while turning what could be destruction into beauty.

It is humbling to recognize how creation weaves protection into its fabric. What we cannot see often sustains us the most.

“And God said, Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years.” — Genesis 1:14

The blazing sun and the shimmering night sky provide and protect, woven into the fabric of the universe. Love often works this way—both invisible and visible at once—shielding, guiding, and illuminating our path.
