What's There to do at 1:03 AM?

As the girl lay in bed, she looked around the room...darkness. It must not be morning yet. Suddenly blinding light flashes through the room, but only for a second. "What could it have been?" she wondered. She decided to look out the window and see. As she made her way out of bed she happened to glance at her clock radio. 1:03 AM. it read. She looked out her window twards the neighboring town on the other side of the river just in time to see another flash. It was a lightning storm...

And that my friends, is how my morning began.

... She watched the storm until it died down, which was about a half hour later. She even tried to get some footage of it on video, but sadly, her attempts failed. There was something about lightning that she liked very much. It could have been the way the glowing forks of lightning spread over the night sky, perhaps it was the low rumble of the thunder, or maybe it was just for the fact that it was something different from the ordinary. Whatever the reason, she found them quite enjoyable, unlike the dentist appointment that would haunt her later that day.

Ooohh! I love thunder and lightning!
When my family lived in Florida, we went through some very interesting storms. Some hurricanes, a tornado or two and even a flood! I don't know what is so fascinating about it!

Maybe. . . it makes me feel so small compared to God. Thunder and lightning is just a sliver of a taste of what His magnificence really is!
