The only ghosts I believe in is the Holy Ghost(Spirit). I do beleive in Angels - we are doing a biblical study on them at church now.
 
Is your study from any one particular place/book? Do you have a guide? It sounds like an interesting study.

We have an angel at our church. 2 ladies have seen him...and another was in prayer and God told her he had angels encamped around our church. One of the ladies has seen him twice. I haven't seen him, but I do not doubt them. And of course being in an Assembly of God church, the Holy Ghost(Spirit) visits every service...and even if you go there alone to pray.

I have several angel stories...none are my personal stories...and I believe what the word says. We entertain angels unaware. I firmly believe that when we need them, our angels are there for us...sometimes visibly, sometimes not.

I know that this past week my son's guardian angel worked overtime. My DH took my DSs to Colorado on a hunting trip. My youngest had altitude sickness the first day and passed out twice and was sick. My husband prayed long and hard for him and he got better and they went on hunting. Later, my DSs were on the 4-wheelers away from camp and my youngest was on my dad's 4-wheeler that he is not used to. They turned around in the road...on a steep incline...and when he shifted the gear he couldn't get it to go into gear. It went into neutral and proceeded to roll backward down an embankment. My son tried to brake, but the brake was not in the same place as it is on our 4-wheeler. He rolled backward down the embankment until he hit a tree. He was unharmed...scared, but not hurt. When my husband went to get it, he touched it and it started to flip off the embankment. He was able to hold it and they pulled it out. There was not a lot of damage to the 4-wheeler and Hunter was safe. So, his guardian angel was helpling him a lot on their trip.
 
Well, I'm full of the Holy ghost if that's your question.
 
I have never seen one but I do believe they exist, just as I believe their exists supernatural life outside of the human race in space somewhere. Too many Xfile episodes watched I guess ;)?

:blushing:I got out of the habit, but will get back into it next week. Do you have anything that would go well in the Tuesday Tips?
 
Oooh - here's one I have just recently started using...at shows, to avoid dead air (and the cahnce for a guest to take over the show and for me to lose control)...I have printed about 40 kitchen tips on index cards. Each guest is handed 2-3 when they arrive and told that thruout the show I will yell out "Guess what?" and someone will need to read her card. I also have put booking and recruiting lines on some of the cards...so any time I am chopping or running to put s'thing in the oven, I should Guess What and someone has to read her card.
 
Man - these are NOT easy to think of -- HUGE kudos to you for coming up with all the ones you've come up with. I just thought of another...when printing up invites for your hosts, be sure to put "and Guest" after each invitee's name -- it makes them more apt to bring a friend

That is SO fun!! We did that at our cluster meeting on MOnday and at least all of the consultants really liked it! I want to try it at a show. Kind of like "Did You Know" cards that I've heard of too, but I love the thinkg about just yelling out "GUESS WHAT?" We had fun with it at the meeting.:D

I got the Guess What idea from teh CN meeting planner and just tweaked it for my shows. The guests LOVED it!
 
I am planning to use this at my meeting on Monday-I will put all of the Leadership announcements into envelopes and throughout the meeting, I;ll say GUESS WHAT? and have someone read one! It just makes it a little more interesting way for them to hear what they have already read online!

As for doing it at a show~what kind of tips do you have? Where did you get 40?????

How do you know who will read one - do you point? are there numbers? do you give a prize for the first one to say theirs?

I just shout out "Guess what?" and wait for someone to read one - of no one reads within like 2 seconds I'll say "Hey Suzie - whatcha got on your card?" and just call someone out.
