I listened to the Catholic Theologian Jeff Cavins this morning as he did a theological study on the American Flag - Red (Jesus's Divinity and door post in Exodus) White (Saints and wedding garment), Blue (Jesus's Humanity and the Blessed Mother). Jeff Cavins also mentioned today is more than independence from Great Britain. It is independence from the sin of slavery as mentioned in Exodus.

Let's us reflect on the 250 years of our history from discovering America and founding fathers to today
In the Name of The Father, the Son and The Holy Spirit. Amen!
Lord Jesus, thank you for this great nation
I pray as a nation we go with you and letting you guide our nation to salvation
I pray we continue to be instruments of your peace helping our citizens and those who are in need. Amen.
In the Name of The Father, the Son and The Holy Spirit. Amen!]]>

I call it “What if I was there”. We take a piece of a Bible story, and everyone tells what they believe they experience if they were part of the story. Add a reference to the bible verse so if someone wants to read the part and visualize from there, they can (feel free to just go off your memory of the story if you want).
 
After the initial post sets the story and the originator’s “experience”, then everyone else can post their “experiences”. You may reference another post (i.e. “My experience is similar to ****** with the exception that the envisioned Jesus was wearing a light gray tunic.”).
 
As for a vague set of guidelines (you can write it as a story, list experiences, etc.[no right or wrong way to express your own “experience”]), first tell where you are in the story and then give what you sense (hear, see, smell, taste, & touch), and then the emotions felt going through the event.
 
So, to start this off:
Story/Event: Shepherds watching flock at night when angels show up to proclaim the birth of the Savior.
Reference: Luke 1:8-14
I am a shepherd watching a flock of sheep.
1.      Sight
   a.      Starlit night with a scattering of sheep in a rolling field of grass.
   b.      I come over to the fire after finishing my patrolling round and hand my torch to another shepherd so he can do a round.
   c.      Several other shepherds are around the fire talking with occasional glances keeping check on the flocks situation and the          patrolling shepherd’s progress.
   d.      As the patrolling shepherd is returning, I notice that one
star seems to be getting bigger and brighter.
   e.      The white light is almost blinding.
   f.        Then I clearly see humanoid in the light and is speaking to me and the other shepherds with me.
   g.      As my vision clears, I notice a blond lady wearing white robes tied with a golden cord around the waist and has giant wings that beat in slow motion keeping them pretty much in the same place (only a slight waver in position).
   h.      After the angel speaks, a couple hundred other angels (dressed the same but different genders and ethnicities) sitting on a towering cloud singing.
2.      Sound
   a.      Voices of me and my fellow shepherds talking (conversation topic forgotten) with some sheep bleating.
   b.      Shocked voices of me and my fellow shepherds followed by the melodic sounding voice of a soft-spoken lady.
   c.      A massive choir with all ranges of voices (harmoniously blended).
3.      Smell
   a.      Fresh air mixed with a smoky smell of nearby fire.
   b.      I assume that the smell remains the same, but do not remember anything in particular when the angels showed up.
4.      Taste
   a.      I don’t have any specific taste beyond normal saliva.
5.      Feel
   a.      Cool light breeze with a little bit of warmth from the fire.
   b.      Feels comfortable (not cold or hot) while the angels are seen.
6.      Emotions
   a.      Content, but a little bit tired since I just finished my patrol.
   b.      Confusion and a little bit of fear at the sudden appearance of the angel.
   c.      Calm as the angel speaks.
   d.      Uplifted/joyous as the angel choir sings.
 
(This may seem long, but I think it “paints a picture” with how I envisioned the event.)]]> I have a concept that I believe will be good for everyone. I call it “What if I was there”.
