Thunder Blunder

“Thunder is good, thunder is impressive; but it is lightning that does the work.” -Mark Twain

My prayer for the congregation?

Almighty God, the expanse of nature is at your fingertips. From the distant roll of thunder to the closer, boisterous reaction of shaking windows, we are alerted to an oncoming storm. We remember old tales used to ease our apprehension, yet even though we are calmed, gasps of surprise may still escape our lips. But while the thunder is boisterous it is the precision strike of lightning that leaves its mark on the earth. Let us be wise with our words, and not be heard as a roll of angry postulations or prideful boasts. Let our way be strikingly clear and may the mark of our pure actions led a pathway back to you. Amen
