This coming Holy week you might enjoy listening to the reading Mark made after his transplant a few years back of his story "Good Friday in the UpperRoom" it's quite the treasure I recently refound. Thank you so much for your kind words shared this week.

Many mornings the first thing I see is one of two pictures. This is one of them. The artist is John August Swanson... look him up on the internet. Mark and I met him at the Catholic Congress at Anaheim convention center and discovered his art while helping at the booth of our Friend and the guy who married us, Terry Hershey who was speaking at the event. We fell in love with the colors that the artist uses... the Stars! The detail! Open this page up a bit and check out the detail of the multitude of people. It is drawn in a form of icon art... that is used in Visio Divina using prayer and deep looking to seek connection to God and meaning. It is a form of listening for God's voice with your eyes. This day I noticed something different. A friend of mine and I had been talking about the heart and wanting to connect with it and not just connecting with our heads. I have followed the idea I got from a podcast by Rob Bell about putting my hand over my heart to help make that connection and I have found it helpful. So I told her how it had been helpful to me. This day I have noticed something different as I looked at the procession. If you make it bigger... look at all the people. What are they doing with their hands? Look and see if you can find any other gestures...
The phone can be a marvelous device to look at things deeply and in detail. If you are inclined, spend a little time looking to God and discovering messages in surprising places as you listen with your eyes and your heart. What do you notice?

I love this hot air Balloon that Mark created.... I love it in its full form... and showing stars and sky... but I especially love the tiny basket part... where there are people communicating... probably laughing, telling stories and Mabe also even a little tenuous about this adventure they find themselves on...
together. Pretty sure God is making Presence known thru the wonder of it all...I am guessing the adventurers also brought good food and drink to share with their friends. It says what was meaningful to Mark and I about Experiential Ministries through the years. What is says is what is hoped for to continue on in this new season.
