Good morning folks! I almost forgot that today is Wednesday. My life has been a bit crazy this week. This week we’re still looking at word mixups, I have quite a few of them.

Lightning and Lightening. I promise, they are two different words.

The lightning struck down from the sky, bearing the world as if it were day for three brief and heart stopping moments.

The sky was lightening with each lightning strike.

o_O I feel so smart for that last one!

See the difference? Got it? Good!
