| DAY 1056: October 7, 2015 Prompt: Which do you enjoy more rain or snow? What is your favorite rain or snow memory? If I enjoyed one over the other I'd have to say I enjoy snow more. Now that's really counter to my natural bent of being cold natured and having to bundle up like the kid on A Christmas Story to endure the cold. Reason? Well Instead of telling you of my favorite snow day memory, I will tell you the most memorial experience I had on a rainy day while on vacation a few decades ago. I went to Galveston Island for the first and only time in my life. I had a wonderful time the first day; exploring the downtown area; looking at the architecture and watching an old octopus movie that was as scary as it got at the time. The next; and as it turned out the last day; of my trip did not go so well. I was still having fun until the sky began to darken, the wind started picking up, and the rain began dropping in small buckets. Mind you I was in the middle of downtown, on the street, and I don't remember if I had a coat on or not since it was summer at the time. So I think you can imagine what's coming next but for those of you who do not, here goes. I was getting pretty wet so I stood under one of the awesome awnings that overhang the stores in downtown Galveston attempting to wait out the downpour. Suddenly things got much brighter! I heard a crack of thunder and right above me I smelled the smell of burning material where the lightning struck just above my head! I think I ran a 1 second mile; if you know what I mean; to the bus station and got my bus ticket changed to leaving on that same day. Now that I think about it from this side of it. I know that the Lord was truly covering me with His protection because that could well have been the day I got fried like an egg on the summer sidewalk of downtown Galveston, Texas. So I figure it's better to be a walking snowman rather than a crispy critter, and to this day I still have a healthy respect for lightning and it's crackling power. Thank you Snow for a good prompt to draw this from my memory banks and making it feel a little warmer inside on a cool start to an autumn morning. Bring on the snow or rain, I'll be thankful for either one on this day and keep my head down in either case. Copenator out! B.C.O.Frs united! |
