Early on Sunday morning, we traveled several miles to the peaceful PACEM Novitiate House in the rolling hillside of Antipolo City to recharge our spirits.

We listened to talks from the Good Shepherd community members about the importance of praising God and the methods of praising Him. Of course, the most animated speaker was Brother Benny, a doctor-turned-community leader who had a life changing experience when he attended a Life in the Spirit seminar just like the one we were having then.

When we came to the baptism of the Holy Spirit, a sense of peace enveloped us and someone even shared that she felt like she floated out of her body and she could see the trees below her.

It was a nice experiece to be there with my funny brother Joseph and I got to see the people from Good Shepherd again.
