"Can you make lightning appear and cause it to strike as you direct?" (Job 38:35)
Lucky to Be Alive
"For on August 18, Caruth was standing in the defensive backfield during Coronado's football practice when an incredible event knocked him right off the football field and literally into medical journals. Dressed in full football gear, Caruth was struck by on the head by a bold of lightning. The bolt burned through protective padding in the helmet at the point where a metal screw was fixed, blacked the neck of his jersey, singed his pants, and left his socks looking as though they'd been treated with a blowtorch."
-C. W. Nevius
