Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
1 Corinthians 15:58

While reading my Bible today I came across this verse and it spoke a great deal to me. Kind of like all the hours I spend researching stuff to put on my blog is not in vain b/c it could reach someone in need!

And MORE

I was just curious so I thought I'd post in case you were too

I got this from Wikipedia

Lightning is an atmospheric discharge of electricity, which typically occurs during thunderstorms, and sometimes during volcanic eruptions or dust storms.[1] In the atmospheric electrical discharge, a leader of a bolt of lightning can travel at speeds of 60,000 m/s, and can reach temperatures approaching 30,000 °C (54,000 °F), hot enough to fuse silica sand into petrified lightning, known scientifically as glass channels or fulgurites which are normally hollow and can extend some distance into the ground.[2][3] There are over 16 million lightning storms in the US every year.[citation needed] The chance of being struck by lightning is approximately 576,000 to 1 and the chance of actually being killed by lightning is approximately 2,320,000 to 1.[citation needed]

Lightning can also occur within the ash clouds from volcanic eruptions, or can be caused by violent forest fires which generate sufficient dust to create a static charge.[1][4]

How lightning initially forms is still a matter of debate:[5] Scientists have studied root causes ranging from atmospheric perturbations (wind, humidity, friction, and atmospheric pressure) to the impact of solar wind and accumulation of charged solar particles.[6] Ice inside a cloud is thought to be a key element in lightning development, and may cause a forcible separation of positive and negative charges within the cloud, thus assisting in the formation of lightning.[6]

I am having the best evening! Eric and I just got in from eating at Taco Bell with his brother and our nieces Vanessa and Skyla. We had a great time and I ran into a woman named Lynn and her daughter Jocelyn whom I had been staring at for awhile while we were eating b/c I had seen them before somewhere. I felt so bad that I had been staring and pointing that I decided to throw something away in hopes of on the way back me stopping and apologizing for staring and telling them I remember them from Petsmart...but on the way back they stopped me and asked me if my name was Jocelyn (like the lil girl there) and I said no but I was on my way over to apologize for staring but that I remember now where I have seen them! And the lady (Lynn) was so nice and was like "Oh good I thought I was the only one who did that" She meant by me coming over to talk about where I'd seen them...but yeah I told them at Petsmart and how we met while looking at the cats and how a 2 year old girl was getting a cat but was dragging it by the tail, hitting it with this stick thing, and carrying it around by the neck, kinda like a head lock and we were saying how the mother should have gotten her a stuffed animal cat. But anyway we talked for a bit and they were so nice and we acted like we have always known each other. I love meeting nice people! and it's always nice to see them again!!!

So after we got back the thunder and lightning really picked up and the rain turned torrential, so Eric and I looked at each other and instantly like two cartoon bubbles from the head thought "carport" At our apartment complex there is a carport with a tin roof that sounds so cool in a thunder storm so Eric asked if we wanted to run out in the rain and sit on the tailgate of our truck and watch and listen to the storm and I was like "AH YEAH!!!" so we booked it to the carport getting soaked and by now the winds had picked up and it had gotten chilly but we didn't care. So with our taco bell drinks we sat together on the tailgate and watched the purple flashes light the rain drenched roads, reflecting off cars and counting the Mississippi's until the thunder would roll. It was very romantic and the crashes startled me a few times. The rain pinging off the tin roof and water cascading over the ledge made an almost serene setting and Eric and I took the opportunity to do a lil " " and we had so much fun! I'm so glad that I married someone who is my best friend and who I can take such joy in the lil moments that life has to offer! I a rainy night!
