Recently, at a presentation I was giving on my book Sacred Compass, someone asked if I believed God worked through "signs." "Isn't that a bit Ouija-y boardish?" she asked.
I had to think a bit before answering. After all, I had an entire chapter in the book on "signs." After some thought, I replied something to effect that "Yes, I believe God does work through signs. All kinds of them -- internal nudges, outward leadings, literal signs, and more." I don't think it's Ouija-y boardish at all.
When I got home I remembered a picture of a sign I had taken. I saw the sign while on a stroll around a little seaside town and snapped it. As I did, I remembered Moses demanding to know God's name before he went to speak God's truth to Pharaoh's power. "God said to Moses, “I am who I am.This is what you are to say ...‘I am has sent me...’” (Ex. 3:14)
The sign and the story spoke to my condition. I hope I am on "I Am Street" -- going to God.

I once saw a sign that said, Barry's Gym - the most powerful workout in town. At the time, I was wandering around London looking for Friends Center. Thinking of Barry C. I laughed and said how ironic would it be if Friends Center were next door. It must have been a sign from God, because Friends Center WAS next door. LOL
