Emphasis Preaching Journal

A seminary student on internship was startled one Sunday when a young woman came up to her and said that she had had a religious experience and would like to talk about it. The woman was a visitor that day, and, with some anxiety about a "religious experience," the intern made an appointment to visit with her during the next week. When she went to visit, she was amazed to learn of the ways in which God is at work in the creation. This woman had been making wreaths of dried weeds and cones during Christmas.
