Career Day

I was at career day at Bethel-Hanberry Elementary sharing Jesus’ love with so many interested students!  And right there in the midst of it, the Spirit led some high school students to me and we sang “Sanctuary” in 4 part harmony!  “Lord lift our voices…”, and the Lord did it!!  What a blessed day!!

Pew Bear

An omnipresent God is everywhere, even in the pew bear that recently traveled to Birmingham Alabama. God put it on my heart to send the little brown bear to a Down syndrome young adult who was in the hospital, waiting for a decision from the doctor whether to operate or let the wound heal. The…

See You Sunday

I had a jewelry party recently. The Spirit guided a friend/coworker of the jewelry representative to come with. We started talking about church. She had visited Living Springs around 5 years ago and has family friends here. She said her and her husband talked about visiting our church. As the Spirit guided our conversation, I…

Just Saw Love

Driving in the car, with our son in the back, I hear “Mom, I just saw love back there.”  Perplexed a bit, I asked, “what kind of love did you see?”  Our son says, “In that window.  I saw love.  Did you see it?”  Sadly, I couldn’t see what he was seeing, but I wanted to…

Mapping of Ones Fears

The Spirit led me to read something very poignant.  When ancient sailors used to create maps of their travels, they would draw out what they feared. Maps would have labels that said things such as:  “Here be dragons”; “Here be demons”; “Here be sirens”. It was a common thing to see, the mapping of one’s fears.…

Knit 3 Purl 3 – repeat …

This is the pattern for making a prayer shawl. I thought I could do it, just cast on 54 stitches and start. I read the instructions and the printed prayers for the shawl and quickly said a prayer; praying that I could remember how to knit. The counting takes all of my concentration and although…

FAITH5

My family and I started doing Faith 5 together as part of the bedtime routine.  My wife and I have two kids, 3 and 20 months.  The four of us pile on the futon in our upstairs gathering area, read a few books, and then start Faith 5.  Though we have only been doing this…

A Blessed Lunch

It had been a hectic week at work. A wonderful LS member came into my office, knowing it was hectic and offered help. At that time there was nothing that I could give her as it was all on my pc. About an hour later she reappeared at my office with a bag of lunch.…

Childlike Faith

The Holy Spirit led us to the FAITH5 Faith Talks Gathering on March 1 and we had a great group of friends, young and old, join our circle.  While one little boy needed coaching to articulate his highs and lows, there was something very powerful in his confidence and boldness to be the first one to bless…

Blessed to Be a Blessing

While driving to Beaufort to celebrate my daughter’s birthday, I drove past an elderly man carrying two heavy grocery bags. He had a visible limp and was laboring to keep moving. The Holy Spirit touched me and after driving a bit past him, I turned the car about, returned to him and offered him a…
