The King of Kings

Last night we had a thunder/lightening storm that was frightening in its ferocity. Booming thunder, driving rain and multiple lightening stikes, as well as rotating winds that signal tornado potential.

On I 75, outside of a church, there stood a 6 story high statue depicting Jesus from the waist up, hands extended to the heavens. The locals named him "Touchdown Jesus"- clearly football is huge here. I had to have the significance explained to me. Apparently, the hands raised high is how a ref signals a touchdown in football. Who knew?

Last night, lightening struck the right hand of Jesus, and the huge statue burned to the ground.
The iconic statue is gone.

What does it mean when lightening strikes the right hand of God and He burned to the ground?

When the fire was called in to 911, even the callers didn't seem to believe what they were seeing.

The church has vowed to rebuild the "King of Kings" statue.
