Days of the EXTRA ordinary!

Acts 2: 17-18

‘“In the last days, God says,
    I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
    your young men will see visions,
    your old men will dream dreams.
Even on my servants, both men and women,
    I will pour out my Spirit in those days,
    and they will prophesy.

Lord,
The lectionary tells me we are about to enter the season of the “ordinary”
The “ordinary”???
I don’t think so! 
I don’t feel like I’m living in the “ordinary”
Not when your Holy Sprit is loose in the world……….
Not when your Holy Spirit is loose in the Church…….
Not when you’ve poured out your Spirit on all people…………
These are the days of the EXTRA ordinary!!

Lord, forgive me,….. us, when we celebrate Pentecost on one day only,
Decorating our sanctuaries with red balloons, and white doves,
Singing songs of the Spirit, having a party to celebrate the birth of the Church…….then……….
daring to think we can pack your Spirit away, till next year comes, 
When in reality, the dance goes on, deep has called to deep, 
We are changed never to be the same again.
