Here are 2 more love songs =)  In August 2010 Nathan and Kaitlin got married!  Several of us got together and wrote them a song.  10 years later they commissioned me to finally do a recording of the song, so we put our heads together and made it happen, although unfortunately not in time for the actual anniversary.   --Lucas-- The Nathan and Kaitlin Wedding Song is by: The Apostle Paul, Lightning Lucas, Jessica Sarriot, Rose Byler, Emma Stahl-Wert, Carmen Schrock-Hurst, and Caleb Schrock-Hurst At the wedding, it was performed by Lightning Lucas, Jessica Sarriot, Rose Byler, Emma Stahl-Wert, Larisa Zehr, David Jost, Stewart Nafziger, and Caleb Schrock-Hurst 10 years later we got almost everyone to submit a recording including Nathan and Kaitlin themselves, (THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR PARTICIPATING!)  I mixed it together and this is the result.  Hope you enjoyed it, and know that YOU TOO COULD COMMISSION ME TO WRITE A SONG FOR  YOU, simply email [email protected] if you are interested!

Today is my 8th 'Lightniversary' ...  It has been 8 years since my heart started beating again, and tomorrow will be 8 years since I woke up after being directly struck by a freak bolt of lightning.  Hear the whole story in this episode! 

I was wrong in the episode, I said I wrote this song for the 5th Lightniversary, it was actually the 4th.  Check out one of my early efforts at YouTube, with visuals of the actual lightning tree here: https://youtu.be/R67xFK4adZk
