Tuesday October strange morning

On Tuesday morning, I woke up before my alarm again, and was just lying there,
pretty dark, about 5:20am, and saw a weird flash of light, like a circle orb, in
my bathroom (just a toilet and shower) and thought, must have come through the
window, even though I knew the curtain was drawn... then, after a while, another
one in the closer area over my two sinks. I got up and actually checked the
switch to the light to see if maybe it was sort of not all the way down, but
nothing.

Went back to bed, then saw another one even closer, this time above my fireplace
mantle.

I thought, okay, alien, angel, fairy or ....?


I didn't scare me, but it was weird. I figured I'd better just pray about it
(and snuck in a few requests, the usual, help with money issues, to lose weight,
etc) then for some reason I prayed that I would have the gift of healing.

But, I have this thing where people, strangers, just randomly come up to me and telling me their ailments.

Monday, I was putting up signs and a man on the way to the soup kitchen
stopped and told me his tooth hurt, I told him to go to the free clinic and to
rinse with salt water...

So, then, this Tuesday, the same day as the flashing orbs, I get to work and a man in dirty pants and shirt but very clean, neat and thin, comes in and says he just came from the H.I.M. to get food and they turned him away because he had no ID.

WTF, right?

So I call them; and sure enough, you must have an ID. WTF, again.

So, I say, FINE, I'll get him some food. I tell him to wait there, then went to
the youth kitchen and found frozen burgers, hot dogs, buns, cans of corn, green
beans, some tortilla chips, cookies, peanuts, crackers, peanut butter.

Then I drove him with the groceries to his house, which he navigated me by John
Newsomes with the big flag to Russell Road, the first little trailer on the
right onto Myrtle Street, he said he didn't want me to drive down through Home
Security Apts. (notorious for bad stuff) so he was taking me the other way... we chatted about people helping people and passing it on, when he got out I hugged him and wished him well, and
he told me to go out the way I came in, not towards the bad part. It was a cool
experience, sort of my sermon in real life.

Then, I am over that, (after getting chastised back at church by Marsha for driving him out
there) and Pastor Terry has a woman come in that needed pastoral counseling, new to
our city.

He talks a while to her, then brings me in. Husband was a former crack addict
now clean, 17 year old daughter who wants to move to Olanta with her boyfriend,
husband lost job for crashing a company truck, so n job... then she got laid
off. Then Terry has to leave for a luncheon then a funeral...and leaves ME in there.

The woman was crying, upset, a nice seemingly smart white lady just flat broke and
really worried. We talked forever, I suggested the Free Medical clinic and NA
meetings for her husband, for her to go to Manpower, gave her the brochure for
HIM and the food bank... then out of no where ask her if I can pray with her.

I held her hand and all kinds of good prayer started coming out, it was cool.
Then I start telling her t hat I could picture her as a little girl with blonde
hair and that I felt that she had a woman around her, like a grandma, that was trying to help her.

WTF

I am still a bit blown away, obviously.

I hadn't really processed the whole thing yet.

Anyway, she ends up crying and really letting some emotions out (which was
needed) and seemed to have some hope.

Then tonight when we walk into Blockbuster a guy approaches us with a big jug
and a story about wanting gas to get back home is a schtick, heard about him,
and I am sorry to say that I told him that I didn't have any money (which was true, we had just gotten a pizza and were trading out Blockbuster Online
movies... and the guy said, "no, it's okay, I still love you"

SO what does that all mean????????
