Friday's Thoughts

"The Flat Earth Society"
Thomas Friedman's view that the world is flat; that we have much in common and can learn to celebrate that.
Pentecost was a time when people from different cultures and countries spoke in their own language but everybody understood each other.

Pentecost brings to us the idea of the power of the Holy Spirit and the birthday of the church.

We think about when Pentecost happens;
Three aspects of Pentecost
1. When people, in the worst of times, gather to be thankful.
2. When people, in the midst of change, believe that the mighty wind blowing will take us to a better time.
3. When people who are different are together in a common mission and understand each other, in spite of the differences.

Gratitude
Optimism
Diversity
