Just some of what we are up to...

Last night during worship services, we had a "prayer meeting" like that in Acts 4, asking for more of God, evident in the signs and wonders he wants to do through us to bring his children to Him. The message was: our prayers move God in Heaven thus bringing Heaven to Earth. It was a mighty time of personal and corporate prayer with many words of knowledge being called out for healing.

Rick and I drove to beautiful Weaverville - about an hour from Redding - today to find a coffee shop in an old building and to study in different surroundings. We have a book report due tomorrow on Jack Frost's "The Father's Embrace." Also assignments for Bible reading and Bible study courses. I am also taking a book writing course, and I'm sure there is homework due, but that is for those who know what they are writing about - and I'm still wondering what my book will be about. I have so many stories to tell, yet can't connect them for a book yet. Hopefully it will come soon!

We have signed up to help serve a Thanksgiving Dinner in a Redding neighborhood known as one of the poorer sections here in the city. It ought to be fun! We are also helping with the annual Holiday Christmas feast on Dec. 12, where hundreds of homeless people and  people going through hard times are fed a beautiful feast with family china and in a very wonderful atmosphere at Bethel.

Our outreach class has taken us to the home of two very disabled individuals. We pray for healing and for God's kingdom to touch them - and we pray for the families. Oh, I want so much to see a miraculous healing! We are learning that every time we pray, something happens. We cannot pray without releasing the kingdom. And...love is always the motivation we must have for praying for someone.
