Lightning Strikes and Thunder Rolls

When He spoke the bolts came from the sky and claps of thunder began.

Living in the lightning capital of the United States we have seen our share of this unbelievable power. What it does when it hits certain objects and even when it just hits close by. Most often, we end up with no electricity until the storm passes. Sometimes the thunder is so deafening it sounds like a bomb was set off. Other times it rumbles, seemingly from one end of the sky to the other. It makes you feel like saying, Okay God what are you telling me?”

To watch it steaming across the sky in so many different ways, it is hard not to think about whom is telling it where to go. The lightning and thunder are never the same. So from a safe place watch for those flashes and wait for the noise that sounds like it is talking to you. And think about the how awesome all of it is.
