Thunder Struck


Call me crazy but I've always been fascinated with thunder storms. My favorite part is just before the rain falls and you can feel the temperature drop and the winds pick up. You can see the leaves turn over in the trees and the branches sway as if they know what's coming. I love to watch the sky draw black and the ominous clouds form.

I've not pinpointed why I like it so much. I hope it doesn't mean I need counseling. I remember in college I actually bought a cd that had an hours worth of storms. The rain and cracking thunder may have drove my roommate crazy.

Tonight, Emrie and I rode our bike to the river and were skipping rocks when a nice storm blew in. We made it home before the downpour, mom, but it was a great feeling to be on the river as the storm made it's approach. I have to say that I love God's storms just as much as I love his sunsets.

We're due to get another big storm overnight. I may crack my window so I can hear it thunder.

One of my favorite childhood memories is that me and Daddy would sit on the front porch and watch the storms. I'm not a bit afraid of them and I'm trying to teach my kids that that's just God cleaning out the air. I love to watch the sky and see the lighting streak it so powerfully. And the cool breeze right after a storm smells the best. I'll be thinking of you the next time one rolls in. If God is that powerful think of how great His love must be for us, and how He can clean out our "air"

What an AWESOME God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I love nature too! God has his fingerprints everywhere ! How can disbelievers not see it?????? What a world that they are missing and what a creator they are denying! (He can only be denied for such a short bit of time :) )
