| Paradigm Shift |
| Monday, May 15, 2006 |
Hey all,
I know, catchy title, right? I was just thinking this last night as I met a new client that had just come in. Why is it that we are so willing to accept that God can do certain things in a church setting, but as soon as we hear about that same thing in another setting we are ready to ship the individual off to the psych ward? Here's what brought on my train of thought.
This person said that she felt God in their hands. When she touched someone, she feels a warmth in the palm of their hand, and she could see things in people when she touched them, and felt that she had the gift of healing thru her hands. Now, you have to understand that I work in an emergency shelter, so when people say this kind of thing, or try to demonstrate using other clients, we're already dialing Mental Health. But if that happened in a church setting, would we be encouraging this person to demonstrate, or pray for others, or whatever? It's funny how we can have such a shift in our thinking from one environment to the next.

What I'd like know is if you let that particular client touch YOU! ;)

Good question...I would like to think that I would have, however it was a night shift, and she was sleeping all night. I didn't actually see her much except for an introduction just as I was going home.
