Sunrise 7:16AM

Sunset 5:42PM

That’s what the paper says today on the fourth of August 2009.

Today we had ten hours and twenty-six minutes daylight.

On the shortest day, the 21st of June we had nine hours and forty-six minutes daylight.

That means that we had forty minutes more daylight than we had on the shortest day.

I am looking forward to the time when there is no night at all.

We are reading about that time in the last book of the Bible, in the book of Revelation.

Revelation 21:25

“…, for there will be no night there.”

Revelation 22:5

“There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.”
