Yesterday we celebrated The Feast of Pentecost. Growing up in the church of Christ as I did, the Day of Pentecost was a big deal. If you're a Christian, it should be a big deal. I'm glad it was emphasized as much as it was. Being Orthodox now, it means even more to me. One of the reasons I am Orthodox is because I believe in the unbroken line that goes back from today to Pentecost. I believe in the faithfulness of God to preserve and sustain the Church. So, celebrating Pentecost, to me, means not only celebrating the start of the Church, it means celebrating the faithfulness of God in faithfully sustaining it for over 2,000 years.
Also, yesterday, I got to watch friends come into the Church. So, that was special as well. It was a good day.
