Our trip to Lake Guntersville, AL was just wonderful.  We had worship, we had workshops and we ate way too much.  Each day was tiring but so much fun.
    One of the most enlightening moments came during one of my workshops.  I believe it was called Healing Hands and Hearts.  Lisa Johnson, a hospice nurse in Knoxville, led the workshop.  One of the things she said that I found surprising was that each of us is given the ability to heal.  Of course, the healing comes from God and is not a healing of the physical body, but of the mind and spirit.  Through the laying on of hands and anointing with oils, we can channel our own vibrations of healing to others. 
   I was paired with a woman named Bonnie, whom I'd never even met.  During our exercise, I was supposed to be the "healer" and she was the receiver.  To make a long story short, after we were finished, I asked Bonnie, "Were you praying for me?"  She sweetly answered, "Well, of course," with the most caring, understanding face I'd ever seen.  When I was telling some people later about it I described it as the "face of Jesus."  I don't know what He will look like, but I think when I see him, I will know that same feeling that I had when I looked into Bonnie's face.
    Some of you might think I've lost it, and maybe I have.  But I really think there's something to this.  So, I ask you to pray for me to have a better understanding of all this.  Thanks be to God!

What a wonderful experience. I believe that we have the power through Jesus the Christ to heal in every way. It is awesome that Jesus was shining through your new friend. If only that were true of everyone. I don't think that you've "lost it"....but rather "found it". Peace :>)
