Have you or anyone you know
1. ...ever experienced a prophesy (vision or dream) that came true?
déjà vu that turns around into vujà dé--lots of times, but actually can't remember enough to write details right now. for the past few years i've become intentional about remembering dreams and often write them down; someone told me to pay attention to the symbols in a dream rather than the story line.
2. ...dreamed of a stranger, then actually met them later?
only in the sense 'this person and this situation both are so very familiar, i *almost* already know their behaviors and the outcome of this scenario.' as i wrote in #1, déjà vu that turns around into vujà dé and wraps around itself all over again.
3. ...seen a wonder in heaven? (including UFO's)
almost any natural phenomenon visible in the sky gives me a sense in my body, mind and emotions this may be a reassuring life- or world-transforming portent; typically i interpret these in a very positive manner. whenever i fly into tucson into the late afternoon/early evening southwestern sunset rather than on a later flight, it reminds me God is still speaking, still sovereign and endlessly lovingly concerned and providing for creation. tucson being an astronomical dark sky area makes it a perfect place for savoring these (right here and now) and those (in the past) experiences.
4. ...seen a "sign" on the earth?
a couple weeks ago i finished reading Quaker pastor Brent Bill's most recent book, Sacred Compass, and i'm currently trying hard to organize and blog my notes. In his book and in the podcast i listened to, Brent talked about learning to notice and read signs, and as both a visual artist and a reader-interpreter of scripture i routinely read high meaning into almost everything, natural, circumstantial and/or otherwise.
5. ...experienced knowledge of another language without ever having studied it?
a woman i met in one of my former cities of residence told me she'd learned Hebrew with very little effort whatsoever, convincing her she must have previously known it.
Bonus Question: What would a modern day news coverage of the first Pentecost have sounded like?
Today in the Holy City Jerusalem at the annual celebration of the Mount Sinai Covenant, known to the faithful as the Day of Pentecost, while an estimated several hundred followers of Jesus of Nazareth were gathered together a wild wind came into their midst and some reported a flame of fire appeared over the head of each individual. According to selected commentators and observers, many believe the renegade itinerant tekton or carpenter Jesus actually has brought a New Covenant of Grace to all creation and some consider the Man of Nazareth also to be the Christ of God. We'll bring you more video and an exclusive eyewitness report on our late evening newscast.thanks, PG, and congrats on this 1st!

"I routinely read high meaning into almost everything, natural, circumstantial and/or otherwise." Amen to that.
Well done! I agree with rdk--amen to that.
Great play--and now I have an urge to fly to Tucson...
You have a gift of discipline in how you regard and view signs that I admire.
Amen for sure.
You were braver than I, who refused to even think of the newscast.
continue reading! that's absolutely right.
I like what you said about #5 as well.
Fiery blessings of the Spirit, dear Leah, and on into greentime...
I will be in San Diego next week (Mon-Fri) for a life coach training. Very busy, and you may be too, but it would be fun to meet up if we can work it in. I will call or email and see how you're doing and if you feel like setting something up.
