Sun, when I attended an outdoor wedding in the Rocky Mountains a few years ago, a hippy-looking guest priest did a reading of a silly old poem “Desiderata”. Towards the end, he said “Be true to your god, whatever you perceive him OR HER to be”.
Suddenly the sky was split with the BIGGEST LIGHTENING BOLT and THUNDER CLAP I have ever seen or heard.
Everybody sat in stunned silence for a few seconds, and then the wedding proceeded.
I really WISH the LORD would do that sort of thing more often. :-)
I remember during the Terry Schavo case, that I confessed that I wished a lightening bolt would hit her husband (not kill him mind, just give him a jolt to wake him up.)
I could have sworn my priest had a smile on his face, but it still cost me 2 Our Fathers, and 3 Hail Mary's.
I love that story!
Something similar happened to Rudy Giuliani. Remember?
Not that old. I like this one better.
Awesome......
