A Lesson About God... from Texas?

I had the privilege of seeing a Texas hail/lightning storm in March. I have to say, it was pretty freaky. I could barely see the road and some people around me were still driving 30-40 MPH. I guess the Texans are used to it, but it was somewhat scary.

The hailstones seemed like they were as big as golf balls (they weren't), but they sounded like it. I thought they might break through the windshield (they didn't).

The lightning, though: A-mazing. I always think of Psalm 8--when I think of Your wonders, Lord... what is man that You are mindful of him? Lightning is kind of like God, actually. It's scary because it's so powerful, but it's beautiful and awesome and exciting at the same time! You can't help but wonder at it.
