Susan Boyle and the Love of God

One of my own pet hates is judging people before I know them and here is a great example.



"It may be the best example of the how God sees us--and the way that the world often doesn't."

Pentecost has arrived

Last weekend was Pentecost and the second service from our new Priest in Charge Rev Moira. There was a change to the usual format that not all appreciated, words that we have spoken week after week were omitted and some couldn't remember what they were or didn't know when to respond. It just shows you that sometime religion is repetitive, you don't have to think. I love change, I love being made to think about my actions in church, why am I doing this or that?

I enjoy the Pentecost service, remembering what happened on that day as descibed in Acts. The apostles receiving the Holy Spirit. It reminds me that I also received the Holy Spirit and it lives in me, encouraging me to live my life to the full and know the Holy Spirit is working away in my life. Pentecost is a time to refresh yourself in the Holy Spirit and feel that breeze on your cheek.
