lightning & God
First the lightning and then count, one thousand one, one thousand two, one thousand three and on. One second for every one onethousand. One mile from the lightning for every second. Ten seconds until the sound of thunder and its's ten miles away. First the lightning and hope to God there is a least one second until the thunder. If not, first the lightning, then the thunder and then we acquire a fox hole desire for the grace of God.
