Even major league baseball teams like the Mets and minor league teams like the Nashville Sounds got in the act on the social media eclipse crazy.
But it was David Carr’s tweet that served as a reminder of our creator, the God who made the moon, the sun, the stars, and the earth.
"The Sun will burn your eyes out from 92 million miles, and you expect to casually stroll into the presence of its creator"
