It started to rain when we walked out of the church... it was sprinkling. However it didn't stay that way. The hard rains came and I was to far into the drive to turn around. I was even to far to change routes.
I have lived in Sarasota all my life and I have never seem lightning any more that the streaks across the sky.... well last night changed ALL that. I have never seen a more beautiful shade of purple and then blue. It was a bright light, and then as it hit the ground an explosion of colors came up. Mike decided he was going to pray that we get home safe, and I did the same. However, he did wonder (out loud) how something so pretty can be so deadly.... it's amazing the thoughts that come from our kids when we are panic induced he's calm contemplating God and the wonders he's created.
I searched all over the Internet to find a picture close to my memory and this is the best I could find. This is a picture of a bolt hitting a home and these are the bright colors I remember, what a pretty purple.
