- A thirty-something homeschool graduate who once promised her mother she didn't need to learn grammar because she'd never be an author is hopelessly a writer at heart. I'm a Christian who loves to ask thoughtful questions, and who finds thought-provoking material in unlikely sources. A lady in waiting, I'm the oldest of six children still living at home, pursuing the efficient acquisition of knowledge through books and practice.

"A lady’s imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love,
from love to matrimony, in a moment.”
~ Jane Austen

On a highly technical note: The actual event of lightening and thunder may occur at the same time as they both mark the same event... However, one form of energy travels faster than the other so we experience the event in two parts.
Cause and effect: lightning causes thunder.
To God be all glory,
