When cycles of fear and doubt surge in and through us, we need to try to be aware that we’re not alone. God and others are with us and share in what we’re working through. Thinking it’s only us will alienate us and make us have a sense of isolation and disconnection from everyone else. True, those close to us may not have a clue, and I know that’s hard. In these circumstances, however, it is crucial to recognize and remember that we’re also part of a non-geographical global community of believers, many of whom do understand us and share our plight as we long for renewal, practice hope, and search for God.

Greg,
You couldn't have described it better. Thanks.
As far as the two points of Pentecost. It's more than just tonges of fire, it's historical proof the resurection actually occured.
It's scarey because it shows what God can do with average sinful people. I wonder what Phillip was thinking at the time. could you immagine High Tea with him at that particular time?

Harry coe,
Thanks for the comment. High Tea and imagination would make a good combination for meeting Philip on the road to Samaria.
