Joe Parisini "Thanks for making this available to the Florida Citrus Model Train Society Members". On Monday, May 9, 2016, the solar system's smallest, innermost planet resembled a black dot as it passed in front of the Sun. Mercury finished passing over the sun by around 2:45 p.m. Monday afternoon. The cosmic show - which began at 7:12 a.m. EDT – was visible from the eastern US and Canada, as well as Western Europe, Western Africa and most of South America. The last time this solar-planetary ballet happened was 2006. Mercury's transit of the Sun, that occurs only 13 times in a century as planet Mercury was seen navigating as dot on the solar disc. "You very rarely see how small planets are compared to the sun". Then it won't happen again until 2032.

RAILROAD PRAYER

 

Oh Lord, now that I have flagged Thee, lift up my feet from the rough road of life and plant them safely on the deck of the train of salvation. Let me use the safety on the deck of the train of salvation. Let me see the safety lamp know as prudence, join all the couplings in the train with the strong arm of love, let my hand lamp be the Bible. Heavenly Father, keep all the switches closed that lead off to the sidings, especially those with the blind end. Oh Lord, if it be Thy pleasure, have semaphore block along the line show the white light of hope that I may make the run of life without stopping. And Lord, give us the Ten Commandments for a schedule and when I've finish on scheduled time and pulled into the dark station of death, may the superintendent of the Universe say, "Well done thou good and faithful servant, come and sign the payroll and receive the check of eternal hapiness."
