Pentecost!

Yesterday I ran in the Holmenkoll run. It was fun. My part of the race was almost 400 meters (which is one lap around a track).
This weekend is Pentecost and we celebrate that in Norway. We don't work on Monday. I don't think most people here even know what Pentecost is. They are just happy for a day off. It's too bad. The day of Pentecost was one of the greatest days in the history of Christianity. The Holy Spirit came on the 120 in the upper room. And from then on they baptized not only with water but in the Holy Spirit. The helper, the advocate, the guide, the teacher, the direct link to the Father was available to everyone who believes!! Glory to God! Jesus (God the Son) left to sit at the right hand of God the Father and sent us God the Holy Spirit. Someone to always be with us on the inside. What a great plan. Jesus is our intercessor with the Father and the Holy Spirit is our helper and our guide down here. It's a win-win situation for us!!
