The Whisper Behind Thunder - Hearing the Mighty God Softly
It was an earsplitting, earthshaking explosion that jarred me out of my sleep. What in the world is going on? I didn’t have to wait long to find out, because almost immediately a blinding white light flickered all around, followed by another tremendous crash. I realized the weekend camping trip my friend Corey and I had set out on had just become a light-and-sound show. As I lay there, slightly concerned, I hoped we wouldn’t become part of the special effects!

Operation ELF - Has a Grinch Stolen Your Christmas
They called it “Operation ELF” because Santa Claus was coming to town. In 2006 in Orange County, Florida, Santa’s helpers were delivering Christmas presents early. No, they were not dashing through the Florida snow! And they were not whooshing over Orange County hills in a one-horse open sleigh. They may or may not have been laughing a lot on the inside as they stood perfectly still taking thousands of pictures and giving early Christmas presents to drivers. How thoughtful: Santa’s elves handing out Christmas stocking stuffers on behalf of Florida’s highway patrol. Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas, Orange County!
