54. Memorial Day

Rhetorical question (which means I have a pretty definite answer in mind):

Is there something seriously wrong if on Sunday, May 27, 2012, everyone in your congretation knew that Monday (May 28, 2012) was Memorial Day and felt somehow that it was a Christian duty to celebrate America's military might, but in the mean time, no mention was made that it was Pentecost Sunday?

- Tom Sine

I confess.  Guilty.

 We should remember that many citizens of this world have died senselessly in wars. BUT we Christians should remember the 50th day of the Easter season and the coming of the Holy Spirit.  I'm pretty sure I know which story I want to live my life by.
