wow Patrick the 4th time? Either you're really lucky (the odds of being struck by lightning is like winning the lotto) or God is really trying to get your attention. Just be glad that while it did destroy your "idols of the heart" it didn't destroy you.

Take care,
Sorin

Yep, 4 times within 300' of a strike. I will admit one of those times I was out looking at the storm (closet storm chaser) and was under the influence of adult beverages. I felt my hair stand up before the hit. I don't stand out in the open anymore when a storms brewing.
One was about 20' away. that one scared me so bad I fell over backwards in my recliner and shook for about an hour.
I never really considered myself lucky and I'm trying to eliminate that word from my vocabulary. God got my attention 1 year ago this month, I truly believe He's instructing me to get back on the path (spend MORE time in the word, not the world). He will not get any back talk from me!

It was a lightning strike that shook up Martin Luther so bad that he became an Augustinian monk.

Patrick,

Here in Lackawanna, NY (home of the now defunct Bethlehem Steel Co.), people use slag (which is a waste by-product of steel making) to back fill around their homes. Talk about attracting lightning- Duh!

In our own home we've had ball lightning go thru the door into the kitchen & out the back door! The TV blew out! As I was walking out the door, lightning struck the house 15' from me & my mother got zapped while talking on the phone!

We haven't had a strike in quite a few years-maybe it's the new shingles?

Before we were married, my wife was struck while sitting in her office downtown.  It threw her across the room and it gave her a hernia.  Ever since she cannot wear a watch because after a couple of days it quits working.  I keep wondering if the strike somehow changed her electrolite balance.  Anyway its wierd.
