Yesterday afternoon we had storms
"When the day of Pentecost came
Today we pray for a fresh wind.
and winds pass through the area.
There was a tornado north of here
near Ames, Nebraska.
It did not cause any damage.
The temperature dropped from 87 F
to 68 F in just a few minutes.
The clouds were something to see.
it found them gathered in one place.
Suddenly from up in the sky there came
a noise like a strong, driving wind
which was heard all through the house
where they were seated.
Tongues as of fire appeared,
which parted and come
to rest on each of them.
All were filled with the Holy Spirit.
They began to express themselves in
foreign tongues and make bold proclamation
as the Spirit prompted them."
Acts 2:1-4
Come Holy Spirit and renew us.
Come in power to strengthen us.
Give us wisdom and power and understanding.
Help us to breath in new life.
Help us to speak out to those in need.
Come Spirit of life.

Jesus said,
Jesus was on the cross
"Father, forgive them;
they do not know
what they are doing."
Luke 23:34
and forgave the people
who were killing him.
This is something to think about.
This is an example for us.
Let us forgive one another
as Jesus has showed us.
No matter what anyone has
done to us, we must forgive them.

so that you may always have enough
of everything and even a surplus
for good works."

Jesus says that to you today:
the sea was becoming rough.

walking on the water.
They were frightened,
but he told them,
'It is I;
do not be afraid.'"

for his appearing with eager longing."

whom we acknowledge in faith,
who was faithful to him
who appointed him."

we smelled a natual gas leak around 2 PM.
The fire alarm in the building
went off and we left the building.
We could still smell it outside the building.
Many people were standing on many sidewalks
on many streets.
It turned out to not be natural gas,
but just the odor that is added to natural gas.
A construction crew had broken open 2 small
tanks that contained traces of this odor.
It took the fire department a half hour
to figure out the source as they checked
many buildings.

Who will you serve today?
