God gives Rio the finger. Film at 11.

That’s what happens when you build a large edifice on the top of a mountain in an area prone to lighting storms.

I have a concrete fence near me with tall trees planted along the length. The posts are reinforced with rebar that act like lightning rods, and have a accumulated a few lightning strikes over the years. I got to witness one of them and see the little pieces of concrete fly.

It must be a bad omen. I was there exactly 13 years ago, Jan, 2001. There is a nice view from there.

After our sons left the Church, their apartment (attached to our house) was hit by lightning late at night while they lay sleeping. A hole was blown clear through their wall, and missed them by about five feet (maybe less), and plasterboard was strewn ALL over the place. I have no idea how they got out of that unscathed. Within a couple-three weeks of that strike, an old elm tree was knocked over by wind, and missed their room by less than a foot. They have not taken either incident as a "sign."

When Christ decides to cleanse the world with more vigor, however, it's not going to be pretty. We sit about doing our day-to-day activities as He's about ready to blow His top, because of all our senseless, murdering, unrepentant sin. Myself, I've been upping my adoration time, trying to save the lives (souls!) of my kids, myself, my hubby (he doesn't need any help, but what the heck; he gets prayed for anyway) and all we hold dear.

Was it the "FINGER" Finger?
It makes a difference as to what the sign might mean. . . .

Hmmm, Saint Peter’s last year and now this...both Catholic.

A warrant has been issued for a man known only as "Zeus," believed to be a native of Greece, who was seen running away from the scene of the crime, still holding three lightning bolts.

Apparently, relations between various Deities have deteriorated of late.

Many years ago there was a proposal to erect a giant statue of Christ similar to the one in Brazil on the bluff in downtown facing the bay in Corpus Christi, Tx. ( Corpus Christi means body of Christ)

This would have been most appropriate and would have put Corpus Christi on the map- but the rats voted the proposal down.

In 1995, Kent Ullberg completed ``It is I,'' a 15-foot beautiful bronze sculpture depicting Jesus on a boat stilling the storm, as described in the New Testament. The work stands in front of First United Methodist Church and did not encounter the same opposition as other projects because it was built on church property instead of public land.
