The Divine in Nature
You may have noticed a cacophony of birdsong in the wee hours of the morning. Scientists call this the dawn chorus. Birds can sing at any time of day, but during the dawn chorus their songs are often louder, livelier, and more frequent. However, one day I noticed that as it got closer to the sun actually rising the singing was diminishing. I also noted that the birds were setting on tree branches facing the sunrise.

A Picture Leads to a Recovery Prayer
A picture on the N.Y. Times cover is seared into a police officer’s mind. Later he finds a local ghetto artist who’s drawn the identical picture. Down the road he’s telling someone the story and finds out who the special man in the picture is which leads to a prayer he still relies on. A telling story of Our Creator’s message taking a winding route to get to him. I’d love to hear comments on this post…

Choosing a Seat for Breakfast
While at a retreat going through the breakfast line I got this intuitive feeling about where to sit so I sat there. Seems the Lord put me in the just right spot because I wound up with a man who had a great impact on me. I saw just how small my problems were and witnessed genuine humility and grace through the person I sat with. It amazes me that when how quickly my Creator can help me from sadness to gratitude when it’s needed.

The Dream Message
How do dreams work? I do not know and I am certainly not an expert of “dreamology”. However, I learned at that moment that dreams can certainly bring us God shots. The Bible contains many scriptures regarding dreams. One of my favorites is regarding Joseph when “An angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, Get up! Take the Child and His mother and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you…” (Matthew 2:13)
Have you ever had a dream that brought you guidance? Hope? Inspiration? Instruction? If you have I would love to hear about it. I hope that you will take the time and share and help open a dialog around the world!
