KABOOM!
God's fireworks are FAR more spectacular than anything people could pull off.
Tonight while at EGS there was a "damaging storm" over the Jackson county area (this part of KC)that literally was above our heads. There was a tremendous lightening storm that lit up the sky again and again and again. Then, as the service progressed, the storm got closer. We were listening to a great testimony of one of the teen leaders when
KABOOM!
The building shook, the lights flickered, mics zapped,and all the worship team backed away from their microphones! The three large screens went blank, and the rain pounding on the tin roof was deafening!
Turns out that two buildings away got hit by lightening and it created an electrical fire... with enough smoke to make us think that WE were on fire!
I am definitely one of those on staff that gets some of the "back room" discussion, so I'm hearing that the building is on fire, but the fire trucks are there and we MAY need to evacuate the building... being in charge of the younger children created a level of anxiety. Then we realized it wasn't our building and Mike was powering ahead, so we would too.
Then the building started showing its flaws... it started raining in the gym, the carpet in my area started changing color because of the water coming in... and the sound equipment was iffy at best.
Needless to say, all ended well, and I am once again sitting in my living room, by the light of my computer, not watching fireworks, but watching God's light show... and loving it... as long as it stays light and NOT fire!
