Modern Technology Miracle

Dear Sisters,
I just have to share a modern miracle!

I volunteered today at HAS.  After finishing up, Charles came by and we walked from the office to a little Mexican restaurant a few blocks away.  After enjoying our meal, we walked another block to seek out a copy of Modern Healthcare Magazine at a local news stand.  Once finished there, the next stop was a trip to Powell's.

But before heading there, I checked for my wallet and to my dismay, it wasn't there.  It wasn't in my pocket or in my bag.  It was lost on the streets of Portland in a pretty busy area of the city :-(  Hoping that I'd left it at the Mexican place or at the office, we began to retrace our steps.  No sign of it at the restaurant... I whispered up a prayer as we walked to the office.  "OH LORD, please help!"

Probably less than a minute passed when my phone beeped with an email.  It was a message on Facebook-not my old FB acct. but a new one that focuses on my involvement with HAS; this one has more open privacy settings because it helps to share HAS with more people.  This in turn makes it easier for someone to search and find me....



Here is a exact copy of the message:
Subject: I found your wallet
"Hi, I found your wallet tonight on the sidewalk downtown Portland. Your drivers license and onpoint credit card and home depot credit card are still in it, along with some club cards. There was no cash in it. I live downtown on the Park Blocks in the Ladd Building. You can pick it up from 12pm-6pm tomorrow at the concierge desk."

Anyone interested in doing this?

Here is a 30 day series online that we could do together.  It includes teaching, health, prayer and sharing of the Word plus personal coaching.  There is a cost, $30, but it is far cheaper than a latte a day and includes recipes!

PRAYERS

Hello everyone!

Did you get an email form titled PRAYERS from my email account on Google docs?  If so, I bet you are wondering, "What is this?!"  Here is what its all about...

Rose and were talking about prayers today; sharing them, praying together, taking joy in the answers, and just becoming aware of God in our lives everyday. In my volunteer work, I've been creating lots of documents with Google docs and got to wondering, why not one for the blog?  A tool to easily share our PRAYERS.

So, it has been designed with you in mind.  A method to share our hearts of prayer together.  We can chart (literally, a chart is part of the form!) our prayer year together.  Won't it be fun to see how God stopped in each day?  What a privilege to pray for each other, and WITH one another!

Its easy to join in.  Just fill in the form :D

And you can feel safe in sharing, only people who are "invited" can see the results.  To get an invitation, you just fill in the form once and then you'll get back information on what is next.  When you answer the questions, you can pick and choose what you want.  There are no required answers.  (To start you can even just put TEST in one of the fields if you don't have a specific topic to share yet.)

If you didn't get the form, look to your top right on this page.  All you have to do is click and go :-)   That is also how you can access it each time you want to send an update.

Hope that you will try this with us.  There are so many blessings to be had through sharing our hearts and prayers.

Your sister through His love,
Margie
