The Paranormal
So, since I haven't been feeling well I've been watching a lot of t.v. I wouldn't normally watch. I just watched a show about students at Penn State and the "Paranormal Research Society". Has anyone seen it or heard of it? I saw a couple episodes talking about dark figures darker than night, one had a ram's head, haunting people at night and the ram's head one talking to people. To anybody I know in computer world, has anything like this happened to you? I haven't seen the ram's head "guy" but I have been "visited" on a few occasions by the darker than pitch black night figure standing over me where the only thing I can move are my eyes; something similar to Jean-Dominique Bauby's description of what he had, locked in syndrome. (I recommend reading his book btw, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.) I couldn't move any part of my body but my eyes could follow this dark figure come over to me, bend down, and walk by me. One time I woke up and the walls were swaying back and forth, outside I could see a severe lightning storm in the window, and the dark figure walked the entire length of my bed side staring at me. I was trying to yell out the name "Jesus" but could not until he left and the room went calm. I have another "dream" involving lizard type creatures with red glowing eyes, 3 "fingered" claws, which were very sharp, chasing me through a forest, which had been badly burned. It was the middle of the night as I was running through this burnt forest with smoke rising from the ground and these creatures chasing me. I woke up the next morning with 3 scratch marks going down my back and 3 going down my left arm. Anyway, not to scare anyone but has anyone been through something similar?
Thanks,
Gary

Prayer request
For some reason my work computer is not letting me write in comments. The Munson household is sick.... Heidi still has mono and I woke up this morn with a low grade fever, sore throat, and the body aches but I still went to work.... I know, dumb idea. Heidi's mom comes in today from Seattle to help out with the kiddies so hopefully Heidi and I both can get some much needed rest. Your prayers are appreciated. Thanks

What is prayer to you?
I've been thinking of this often as I pray more and more every day now for your requests and concerns. Jesus talks about prayer in the Bible and prays himself a lot, so what is it? I've heard it is "talking to God" but than how do you "have" to be to talk to God? Do you have to be on your knees, folding hands, eyes closed? Can I meditate on God at my desk doing work every day? I believe one can meditate at work and pray while doing work without having to go through the usual prayer motions described above. But there is a time and place for bowing, folding hands, and coming humbly before God with our thoughts and concerns. My wife and I have been reciting "The Lord's Prayer" and the "Shema" with the kids every night because it gives a great description of what prayer looks like. But what does it mean to you? What is the purpose you have when you pray? To me, it is telling God what is on my mind willingly placing every concern and care I have before Him even though He already knows what is needed. Does that make sense? I acknowledge God is God, is creator of heaven and earth: Baruch eta Adonai, eloheinu melech haolam; pray for my friends and my enemies a blessing from God, which would be knowing and trusting in Him. Anyway, what are your thoughts on prayer?

Prayer Requests for Saturday
I'm getting this out late with kids, church, and Army drill taking up most of the day thus far. Drill is always interesting as I am getting out soon so there is not much I do anymore. To tell you the truth, I am still "bitter" at the chaplaincy for not accepting me to go active duty because I lack 2 years of full time ministry in a church; when I do have 10.5 years of military service, 2 years of missionary work in Ukraine, and led worship for 2 years for chapel services in the Army. None of that counts towards going back onto active duty????? Anyway, after working with chaplains on active duty who did little when it came to ministry I do not feel sorry for the military's need for chaplains...... Pray my heart changes to one of forgiveness and prayer for the military chaplaincy.
Thanks
Thanks
