From Gary... It rises again...

Have you seen June's full moon? Beautiful, simply beautiful!!!  However, this moon is a bit of a quandary to me, as I have seen it referred to as a strawberry moon, a honey moon and lastly as ROSE moon. With a last name like Rose, its not difficult to pick the one I like best.  However, I certainly would not refer to this rising moon as a Rose moon, because it would be a bit awkward to say that the Rose moon ROSE.  Whatever you want to call it, this gorgeous luminary made me think of this passage from Paul's letter to the Corinthians...

1 Corinthians, Chapter 15

1Co 15:40  There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is one, and the glory of the earthly is another.
1Co 15:41  There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.
1Co 15:42  So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown a perishable body, it is raised an imperishable body;
1Co 15:43  it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;
1Co 15:44  it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.

Like most things, it always pays to refer to the fundamentals. Whether its about a golf swing, chess strategy, grammar or even viewing the sky- going back to basics is almost always a wise choice.  And what can be more basic than considering the moon in the night-time sky? Not much, except for matters like life and death and life after life.  So, I wonder... What will one's resurrection body look like?  No idea, really- except that it will be both imperishable, spiritual and propagated in power.  In other words- a honey of a body.  Well, that settles it; this moon will be a HONEY moon to me from now on!!!
