Today lightning lit up our house, well, not a direct hit, but enough to knock out power to 2400 homes in our area, 8000 homes in the county.  I haven’t experienced a storm like this since my mother died in February, 2005.  That night was wild with lightning, thunder, and rain, but that was February, not August, which is usually dry.  I’m grateful for the rain and hope it puts out fires that started from lightning strikes.  

Each day brings something new, and once, again, it’s how we meet what comes.
