At a Glance: Great Friday

Most would call it Good Friday but I had a great Friday! I spent the evening with some of my small group eating, in fellowship, praying, watching the Passion, and taking Communion together. The stormy night added to the effect of watching men torture and crucify my Saviour. It was very hard to watch and I know all our girls would say that too. For minutes we all just sat in utter silence. (How often does that happen with high school girls?) That was a great time of being together and celebrating what Christ did for us!

Then came my excitement for the night. As we were finishing up and saying goodbyes, the storm let loose. One girl even fell in a ditch...but the heavens defiantly let loose and poured on them as they ran to the car. I of course got the great idea to go shoot some pictures in the rain to see if I could catch some lightning. By the time I had found someone to come with me, so I was not running around in the rain at midnight by myself, most of the actual lightning had passed. We still decided to venture out and see what we could see. My dad, my faithful random scenario assistant, and I packed up and headed out. We only saw one strike of lightning while we were out and even that one was muffled by clouds. So we did not catch any strikes but did get some fun night shots and had a ton of fun!
