I absolutely LOVED the seminary course I took last week entitled: Seeing the Psalms. One of the things our professor, Dr. Mark Futato taught us about the people of the Ancient Near East was the simple reality that when the clouds rolled in, they saw God's chariot; and, when the thunder roared, they heard God's voice. How far we have come with science. Nowadays, the wonder of the theology of the Psalms is missed by our sophisticated understanding of the universe. We don't see nor do we value the greatness of God in even the most basic sense as ancient people did. We've lost so much.
Friday night, I headed to the Rockies game with some friends (wearing my Sox shirt, of course!). A rain delay was called at the top of the seventh and we witnessed an amazing thunder/lightening storm roll in from the east. It was a special storm! I couldn't help but think about the Great King's voice. And, hoping to catch a shot of the lightening, I prayed. :) A few minutes later, I saw a plastic bag being tossed upward from the field by the wind and, thinking it was sort of amusing, took a picture of it... At the same moment, this beauty flew out from the clouds above - I couldn't believe I caught it in the shot! What a way to cap off a inspiring week of study...
