When I started writing this post it was six seconds after 4:05 on July 8th, 2009. So that is the meaning of my slightly cryptic post title. Anyway, it only happens once every century or something, so it won't happen again anytime soon.

Summer is going well, though of course it is hot, hot, hot. Most days the high is around one hundred, give or take a couple of degrees. Tomorrow it's supposed to get to 105, so that will fun.

We spent the Fourth in Louisiana with my mom's parents. We celebrated their eightieth birthdays and hung out with family. I even set off a couple of fireworks. This is something of an accomplishment for me as I tend to be a little afraid of fire. You should be proud of me for overcoming my fear, even if it is a bit irrational. At least I'm not afraid of ladybugs like someone I know.

About Thin Places

Sometimes God breaks through our mundane lives and in a mind-blowing instant we find ourselves face-to-face with the Almighty.

This blog is the musings of someone searching for Thin Places in everyday life, and seeking to capture this in photographs. I strive to identify those moments when the sacred and the profane meet, those places where the everyday and the holy become tangibly one. However, it will also save as a confession of those times when the veil seems thick, and reflections on my ordinary, everyday life when it seems to be just that - ordinary.
