What is Lightning?

We had a few bad storms pass through.  One night we were out and about and we saw some lightning in the distance and Andrew asked: Andrew:  When there is lighting, does that mean that God is mad? After a little bit of discussion, the boys began to discuss other weather patterns and tried to relate them to God. Ben:  If it is raining, God is crying . . . or maybe spilling water.
