Last night close to midnight I went out on the
second-floor porch to watch the fireworks. Although fireworks here (the New Orleans area) are habitually shot from all over our neighborhood,
last night's display surpassed any I had seen, including those celebrating the turning of the
Millennium. We had been hearing them, and occasionally seeing them, since late afternoon. But when the clock struck midnight they were
nothing less than awe-inspiring.
I didn't know where to look, because they came
from everywhere except the lake--even blossoming almost over my
head! I could imagine the Second Coming or the end of the world
being something like this, with Glory coming from all around.
May the year ahead live up to this display.
(Needless to say, the photos do not do justice to the experience.)
