Story of the Day
A great crowd of people had gathered that day. We were looking up into the clouds. A wind storm had blown into town. The wind was strong. The trees bowed in the wind. There was a great noise that came with the wind. It was refreshing, yet frightening all at once. And then we heard a noise. Was it the sound of a trumpet? Or was it the wind playing tricks? We weren't sure. A great crowd of people had gathered that day. We were looking up into the clouds. Then we saw something like a man in the clouds. A man riding the clouds. We couldn't tell for sure. A buzz of conversation started about the man in the clouds. Were our eyes playing tricks on us? We weren't sure. The reporters in the group began to write in their little notebooks. The TV crews began to film the cloud. Many of the people began to fall down in worship. But we really weren't sure of what we were seeing. So others decided to wait this vision out and see what it really was first. A great crowd of people had gathered that day. We were looking up into the clouds. A wind had blown into the lives of these people. A transformation was taking place. The people were united in the vision of the man in the clouds.

Prayer of the Day
Lord, draw Your people together. Blow the Spirit of Life into Your Church. Keep our focus on Jesus, our Savior and Lord. Sweep the Wind of the Spirit through Your Church, focused on Christ that we may act out in the service of love that You have ordained for Your Church to carry out. Be with us here and in this place as we fulfill Your Will and Your Way. Continue to be the Vision of the Church until we are complete in You. ---Amen
