My Fascination with Fireworks

Why am I so fascinated with fireworks? Especially on a warm summer's eve with just the right amount of breeze blowing through my hair.

Maybe my reasons are the same as yours...

Fireworks evoke feelings. They are loud and sometimes scary. Your body shakes, your chest pounds, your eyes pop, your ears ring, your nose smells, and your heart remembers back to times before when you sat underneath a dark sky...with your parents, your friends, your first love. They make you wonder. They are mysterious, marvelous. They are special, they make you feel special, and smile...

They broaden your mind for a quarter of an hour, maybe more...to something bigger than yourself. Their loudness, their bigness makes you dream, wish, even dare to hope...and maybe you'll leave ready to do something you thought was impossible before. Because who would've thought something as brilliant as this could light up the sky?

"God can do anything, you know--far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams!" Eph. 3:20a
