(This particular installment of StoryShare is adapted from a review of “Seven Psalms” that I wrote for Messenger, our denominational magazine.)
During the night, Paul had a vision: there stood a man of Macedonia pleading with him and saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.” (v. 9)
It all began with a dream.
Singer/songwriter Paul Simon, who has shaped our lives over the past sixty years with songs such as “The Sound of Silence,” “Bridge Over Troubled Waters,” and “The Boy in the Bubble,” woke up one night a couple years ago from a dream where he learned he would write an album titled “Seven Psalms.” Simon drew upon his Jewish background from Queens, as well as his love for music, baseball, and poetry to craft lyrics that explore the wisdom, peace, and fears that come with age.

What is StoryShare?
StoryShare is a treasure house with hundreds of good stories to share, stories which relate authentic, life-changing experiences that demonstrate the Lord's power and presence. Many are intensely personal accounts that concern visions, healing, or answers to prayers, but all bear witness to the indescribable joy, comfort and peace that come from a personal encounter with the divine. Our "Good Stories" section includes short fiction, parables much like those Jesus told.
Can I share stories that I have?
Yes, you can. You have good stories to share too, probably more than you know: personal stories, and stories from others that you have used over the years. StoryShare is always looking for stories involving personal experiences of the presence of God. Have you or someone you know heard the voice of God or been healed as a direct answer to prayer? If you have a story that you can share send it to StoryShare for review. Simply click here (storyshare@sermonsuite.com) and email your story to us.
