Predictably Unpredictable

As the thunderstorm approached from the southeast, I stepped outside to observe the conditions.
Lightning began to streak to the ground.
I saw this as a photo-op, so I got my camera and tripod and set up to shoot.
Lightning is predictably unpredictable! Continue reading

The Hypocrisy Of It All

Then the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, who stood above the people, and said to them, “Thus says God: ‘Why do you transgress the commandments of the LORD, so that you cannot prosper? Because you have forsaken the LORD, He also has forsaken you.'” Continue reading

Good As Gold Isn’t Good Enough

The owner of the motel is of a far-Eastern religion; Hindu or Buddhist, I’m not sure which.
