Inspirational Angel Discoveries

By Colleen Hughes, August 23, 2012

I don’t play games on my computer during work hours (or otherwise, actually), but I do like to surf around to see what’s happening angel-wise. Here are some sites I came across this morning, all of which were new to me!

We love our angel illustrations at Angels on Earth, so angel art always gets my attention. For her “Angels Among Us” collection, artist Nancy Sandheinrich has created stunning mixed-media collages with distinctly angelic themes. Each piece is unique, but Sandheinrich intends all of them to share one thing in common: an “affirming message of love.”

In her blog for Beliefnet, angel author Susan Gregg offers her insights on angels and their influence in our lives. Overcoming fear, learning to forgive and seeing the world’s beauty are topics of recent posts. Susan is an outdoorsy person who loves her animal rescues and lives in Hawaii. I want to see pictures!

This site features a scholarly article on angelology, the study of angels, by J. Hampton Keathley, III, a 1966 graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary and a pastor. You’ll find scripture references to answer questions on angelic terms, appearance and more. For me there’s nothing like a good, true, first-person earth angels story to keep my belief in angels alive, but sometimes it’s fun to get down to the basics in the Bible.

I love Angels on Earth. The illustrations mean so much to me. When I put in a search for the above illustrations nothing appeared. Surely there is a site for viewing or writing about these inspired artists.
Bless you, jan

Seeing your "May We Pray for You" reminded me of a recent experience I had not long ago with Guidepost prayer request. I had a relative who was going through treatment for pancreatic cancer. I asked for Guideposts' prayer. The treatment would last several months. Therefore,I later asked for more prayer. I received a notice that would cost me $7.00. Of course, I could give more if I chose. I refused because I can't see putting a price on prayer. Could Christians even imagine getting to Heaven's door and St.Peter telling them, "That will be $7.00 to enter?" I can understand asking for donations to help cover expenses, but aren't the prayers done by volunteers? What if someone is requesting a prayer because of unemployment & hasn't money to spare? Is he to be denied because he can't pay the $7.00?
Come on people, use some common sense.

Hi Wanda: My name is Peola C. Hicks and I am the manager of OurPrayer (Guideposts prayer ministry). We have never in all of the history of the Prayer ministry (over 60 years) charged for prayer, and we never will. You are correct in saying that there should be no charge. If you have a copy of that request, you can send it to ministry@ourprayer.org and we will track it down. Certainly, I can understand how this would upset you, but I want to confirm that we value your loyalty to Guideposts and we definitely want to be of service to you. God belongs to all of us and He is available to you and so are we. Please accept my apology on behalf of Guideposts and please give us another chance. Again,we do not charge for prayer. I would love to hear from you. Blessings, Peola

Wanda,
I couldn't help but feel for you and what you were writing.
I am just someone who reads these blogs, but I will put your friend in my prayers. I hope your friend is doing well. Blessings!
