Everyday Faith
The Source
by Selena Thomason

 

A tree struck by lightning relays a message.
Discuss in Forums
Recently lightning struck a tree in my neighborhood and split off a whole side of it.  Everyday I walked past that tree with half of its branches flat on the ground beside it.  The mass of branches was still attached to a sliver of trunk but was no longer connected to the living tree at all.
