Do You Need a Hug?

I just opened an e-mail with a drawing of a woman getting a hug from Jesus! I wanted to share it but couldn't copy it so if you need a hug today, find a private place and close your eyes and ask Jesus to give you a hug; then be still and allow yourself to feel those loving arms wrapped around you. Jesus is always there, by your side, and you can get a hug anytime you need one.

I remember when I was in Corpus, a lady who had been attending for a few months came to the office to talk with me; she said it seemed like when I prayed that I thought God was right there listening to me and she wanted to feel God that close to her. It was a joy to help her learn to experience God's presence right there with her too.

Give it a try; if you can lay down and close your eyes and pay attention to the outline of your body; it will begin to feel like warm electricity surrounding you.....guess what it really is?

National Coming Out Day!


Here in P'cola we have been coming out all week! What a great time at Seville Square on Saturday and what a FABULOUS concert with Daphne that night! And how about all of the media coverage? I am so proud of those who went public. I try to remember that I get paid to be out and I do not expect everyone to do the same - but if you can, come out to someone today. Knowing a LGBTQ person is what changes people's minds most about us so come out as often as we can....because to know us is to love us!

Thanks Holy Cross MCC for shining the light last week - you did a most excellent job!
