GOD’S GLORY IN TOTALITY – KT&FP Staff Writer Twila Adams (bottom right) ventured to Raymond Gary State Park in Fort Towson last Monday along with her daughters Jami (bottom left) and Cassidy (top) to take in the historic total solar eclipse.

It was unbelievable to see how powerful the sun is, with only a tiny sliver emitting so much light on the earth,” Adams said. “When it was obscured, it was dark enough to see stars in the sky.” Like Adams said before, she was glad she made the trip. “I’m thankful I had the opportunity to witness one of the many works of God’s creation, reflecting His awesome power and glory.”
