Thunderstorms

We've had a few thunderstorms with alot of rain the last few days. Did you know that lightening gives off an electrical energy causing oxygen and nitrogen gases in the air to combine to form nitric oxide. This dissolves in the rain and becomes nitric acid. Plants depend on getting some of the nitrogen they need from the electro-chemical reaction which is caused by lightning. It's a natural fertilizer. Rather than complain about the weather, we should thankful since it's less chemicals we need to buy to help our flowerbeds or garden veggies to grow.

Other than a few branches scattered all over the yard, we've been fortunate to have no real damage around here, so it's easier to be thankful. As I drove through the country side and saw huge trees down {one was on top of my friends car - thankfully no one was in it!} and the mess and devastation throughout the local town, I was awed by the power of God.
