I spent all day trying to figure out a photograph for the blog post tonight. No luck. I looked on the way driving to my astronomy meeting. No luck. But on the way home, I drove by the Old First Church in Huntington, which is a classic white church with beautiful steeple, and there was a light in the steeple! There's my shot! So I parked the car and did a number of photographs. This one represents the scene best. So I did some research as to why a church might have a light in it at night. Here is a quote from the Clover Hill Reformed Church, in Hillsborough, NJ: "The lighting of the steeple each night is a reassuring sign of hope, of God's presence. It is a signal light, shining in the darkness and pointing us to this truth." I love that thought!

Thank you for being so inquisitive and finding this wonderful quote. Beautiful photo but the words behind the light are beautiful too.

A really nice photo and I like the idea of the light being a sign of hope. Trace
I am so pleased that you were all moved by the quote I found about the reason for the light in the steeple. I loved that quote, and the reason for the light, as well.
