Pentecost

Pentecost! This is my favorite day in the church calendar. (Pretend that I am writing this yesterday) In my mind, no other day truly signifies the holy might of God. True, on other occasions he healed sick people, or fed 5,000+, or did some action-movie worthy anti-materialism campaigns, but on Pentecost the Holy Spirit truly moved through the apostles. This impressive event was the birth of the Church, what cemented the resurrection in the hearts and minds of the world. Mostly because of the language thing-Oh, how I would have loved to hear that! In church yesterday we read the Gospel in; English, French, Ancient Greek, Hungarian, German, Japanese, and I read it in Russian. It was soooo cool! Also, there were 2 baptisms (which I love)
Hooray for the Power of the Lord!!!!!

O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.

25So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.

26There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.

27These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season.

28That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.

29Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.

30Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.

31The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works.

32He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.

33I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.

34My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.

35Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD.

(Psalm 104: 24-35)

Have a lovely day!
