The Holy Spirit...in 100 words or less (Alyce McKinzie)

I was tooling around the net, as I worked on worship for this week -- Pentecost.  I found an interesting approach over at Patheos, home to several bloggers.  They asked several different folks to describe How The Holy Spirit Is At Work in The World Today in 100 words or less.  I'm going to post a few of them.  This one is from Alyce McKenzie:


At Pentecost the Spirit filled the room with a mighty wind, it touched everyone in the room and everyone could understand everyone. It was no humanly manufactured breeze to be turned off and on by human hands, it did not touch only the "spirit filled," and it did not enable people to understand only those who already spoke their language. As the third Person of the Trinity, the Spirit lives in community with the Father and with the Son. The presence of Jesus in his physical absence, the Spirit prays in our inward lives "with sighs too deep for words."
