From the Heavens...
While I was driving home tonight from church I saw one of the most amazing sights. I was simply driving down the road, not really thinking of anything, just driving and looking around. Well, I happened to look up into the sky at the right moment and thought I was seeing an airplane. In that split second that I first saw the thing it seemed to be too bright to be an airplane. Quickly my eyes focused and I realized it wasn't an airplane I was seeing but a meteor (or something of that sort)! It burned bright blue as it was falling down. The the intense blue changed into a hot red/orangy color, then again it shined back to its blue. It was beautiful, awesomely beautiful. Sadly, like most meteors, it quickly died and was gone.I could still see the vivid glow in my mind. And my eyes struggled to regain focus as though they had been scorched from staring too long at the sun or a welder's torch. What allowed me to take in so much of the falling phenomenon was that it moved slowly. That's why I thought it was an airplane; because most shooting stars that you see are so fast that they are there and gone before your mind even registers that you saw a shooting star. I was in total shock. I had just witnessed something so rare and precious. I wonder if anyone else had seen what I had seen.
