“(…) and suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind, and it filled the entire house in which they were.”  Acts 2:2

Like the first disciples, you and I can sometimes find ourselves in The Space Between, that place where we struggle to feel the Lord’s closeness yet cling in faith to His plan for us.  It is in this void that we embrace our humanity and that of our brothers and sisters, we pray for and encourage one another, and we open our hearts to the promised Advocate.  With eagerness, we answer the call to announce the Good News, to indeed live as people born of the Spirit.
