This Day: Visit us each day for a contemplative experience – an image, a Scripture reading, a quotation from Fruit of the Vine, a query, and a poem-prayer. On Saturday each week, we will feature an excerpted Quaker testimony. On Sunday each week, we will offer a Scripture reading, historic Quaker quotation, questions for consideration, and a personal essay from the Illuminate lesson for that week.

Scripture: Acts 22:1–10

“We all have stories of times God burst into our lives. Most don’t involve blinding lights and voices from heaven, but some do. And some consist of quiet moments when God whispered, or maybe God just sat with us on a park bench. Who will tell your story? I think it begins with you.” –Phil Baisley, Fruit of the Vine

Query: How do you talk about your experiences of God? What is your story?


Joy is the flicker

illuminating the night

and joy is the live wire

powering the light

Joy is the spark flung from the flame

drawing others to the warmth

And joy is the fuel

at the center of the fire

–Bethany Lee, from “Age turns healing on its head” in The Breath Between
