For two days it has been an honor and privilege to be with some of the finest Christian healers in the world. This small group meeting of a dozen men and women who have devoted their lives to the Christian ministry--healing the sick, bringing salvation to the sinning, and preaching the gospel to the poor in spirit. I am grateful to be among them.
It is rare to spend much time sharing inspiration and practical tips with colleagues. I learned so much and have immediately put into practice some of the tips shared by others. This feels like the beginning of new directions and a deeper more committed sense of ministry. I've felt a rededication to preaching the gospel and a renewal of conviction in the vast possibilities of awakening humankind to the power of Spirit on earth.
The harvest is now and we are humble but committed workers in God's wide harvest field.

Another grandkid day
What a great day with Daniel and his family. His mom Robin is so inclusive. Played games with the kids. Went to the park and a birthday party where they broke a pinata. Then Chicago pizza and on to a lecturer conference. Being with Daniel is such a joy!

Fulbright scholar from Mexico
We had a delightful dinner at Los Arcos with Bonnie and Karl Jannasch from church. Bonnie is librarian at an elementary school which is hosting a Fulbright scholar from Culiancan, Sinaloa Mexico. Yuri along with her architect husband Benjamin arrived a couple weeks ago and joined us for dinner. What a treat! We took them to La Hacienda market where Yuri sighed in contentment at familiar foods and spices. A little piece of home is like heaven on earth. Looking forward to visiting with them again.
Had a charming walk this morning at Radnor Lake after exercising at curves. Finished another lecture in English to be given at a Youth Conference in Chicago this October. It's been edited and approved. On to memorizing it.
Tomorrow a pre-recorded talk on Sentinel Radio airs, Safe from Harm. I'm going to post the CD to my website when I have an opportunity.
God is good and we rest in action. Certainly enjoying the peaceful harmonious action of God governing daily affairs with a sense of newness and purpose.

Picking blackberries
A woman called for prayer on Sunday. She was leading the services at her church but awoke immobilized. Couldn't pick her feet up. I prayed and she was able to drive to church and conduct the services. We continued praying and after 4 days she reported she was able to move freely. Went to pick blackberries. All things are possible with God!
Healings for Sept 3
A woman who could barely make it up the stairs, after praying together for several days, was so free that she went out golfing and walked much of the course. She was delighted.
Another woman had a urinary tract infection. After three days of prayer, she was completely cured.
I was violently ill all day. Dave thinks it was what I ate last night, but regardless, nothing including water would stay down. Dave was so supportive and stayed with me. I read the Bible Lesson and he read to me from Science and Health. In the afternoon I asked him to read to me the definition of God in the Glossary of Science and Health and page 275. I was healed. Took it easy the rest of the evening and today am fine as ever. Praise God!

Girl healed over the weekend
Got a call over the Labor Day weekend. A Mom called for her 11-year old daughter who had a foot injury from ballet. She'd been struggling for a couple weeks. Instead of praying about feet or injury, I prayed that we would all see this child as God's spiritual idea held in the hand of God, untouched and complete. The girl called me the next day and we talked about how to know when we are healed. We don't look for confirmation of healing from the body, but from Mind. I directed her to page 120 of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy which says that health is not a condition of matter but of Mind.
The girl was healed over the weekend.

It works!
In a previous post, we took our neighbors to Chaffins Barn. At dinner, Gary talked about taking a fall while running. He said on the way down he knew this was going to be bad. He damaged his shoulder and it took months to heal. He was just getting back to running. He was glad he could do it without surgery.
I talked to him about a healing I had while on the boat in the Galapagos. The boat had rocked out from under me and I'd tumbled down the stairs to the metal floor, landed in a heap. As I was going down, I'd declared, "God is right here." After I landed, I thought I'm upheld in the hand of God. I can't fall out of God's care, and I'm alright. Then I turned over and sat on the deck for awhile praying.
My ankle started to hurt, but I instantly rejected that. I thought again, "I'm held in the hand of God and am unfallen, upright, whole and free." This idea is from Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy. In less than 10 minutes I was able to get up and walk on. My hand was sensitive for another day, but even that disappeared with no injury.
Gary stopped me this weekend and told me that he'd been running. He'd caught his foot and took a bad fall. On the way down, he remembered our conversation and mentally declared that he was alright and that God was there. That's as far as he went with it.
He said it was like a soft landing eventhough it was on cement. He said people came rushing over to help him. He stood up, brushed himself off, said he wasn't hurt and went on. He showed me a scrape on his knee. That was the only injury. He said, "It really worked." This was his first experience of turning to God and knowing that God was protecting him. He was happy and excited to tell me of the result of our little conversation over dinner.
