To be in Your presence and not distracted by anything else is to have found holy ground, and holy ground is sacred.

I reached a new to me understanding of prayer and how it profoundly changed my place at the table, with my Friend.
Trust

Who do you trust? More to the point, who do you trust with your life? Is there anyone that you would place your very heartbeat within their hands, whereas if they made a mistake, you would no longer be alive?

Healed

This morning I recalled Kate and the testimony of healing she gave about being led to the healing rooms at Bethel in Redding. It was her last resort, as the doctors could not help, and the prescriptions didn't work. I was also reminded of the day in February 2009 when I sat in an examination room to await the next series of diagnostic procedures to find a solution to my physical ailments.
