The Humble Rock Dove

So, after getting diagnosed 10 years ago with Schizophrenia, I would boast for the duration, that I never heard voices or saw things other people couldn’t see.

This morning I went to the Methodist Church I grew up in in my early years. I never liked it back then, but there was something dramatically new in the energy today, and the teaching spoke to me, both literally and figuratively.

I don’t see the synchronicity as strange. It is a hallmark of my life. So I don’t ask why I went this morning, or what forces compelled me, I just went.

The service was on Samuel chapter three! THIS is the point Samuel hears a voice and ascribes it to his mentor a few times, only to realize it is God! The breakdown and commentary on these verses was:

• We have actual voices guiding and imploring us to do things and (more commonly) behave and act in a certain way.
• They can come directly from the media we consume, such as television, games, music, etc.
• Can we decipher the clean and Holy voices, along with God’s own?

So there you have it, the Holy alignment with my casual desire to wipe my Digital Audio Player, this morning!

And this will plant a seed and help numb and nullify that which is undeserving of attention, with the voices I hear and pay heed to.

#Amen.
