Rainbow

This evening we had a lovely, solid rain. No thunder or lightning, so the boy was out playing in it, of course-- and spotted this.

Now, I'm an engineer by training. I understand the science of how rainbows happen: light refracting, being bent as it travels through the water droplets, etc., etc.

But you know what? A rainbow is still a God-given miracle, a shining promise of hope through tears, and the best reason there is for going out in the rain.
