Hi Kristin,

I just wanted to say that, coming from a very charismatic tradition, I've grown mistrustful of those bolt from the blue words from The Lord kind of thing. I've seen them manipulated to serve the ends of humans instead of the purposes from God, and I've seen folks devastated because they didn't have those experiences. But one thing I think is true: God will be heard. I don't think he does it very often, but he has the power to make even the most recalcitrant heart (like mine) sit up and pay attention. And I think this allows us humans to rest, rather than chasing after spiritual experiences, which, though they can come from God, are not God. But I guess that, right there, is my epiphany. 

Also, I would really, really like a membership to Flock! It looks like it's going to be awesome! Thanks!

Shannon
