'I Remember When..."Words of Silence in Community"

Pentecost has several attributes and applicdations in our lives.  it is good to spend some time seeking out our Lord as Helper, Comforter, and Advocate.  It seems that it is the difficult times in our lives that we seek the Lord's direction in these and other areas.  Why does this happen?  How can I get out of this?  Where is this going?  Who is responsible?  Who will help us?  Who will help me?  I'm old enough to have gone through such circumstances such that all of these questions had to be answered because they had specific application to me.  That's when we grow; that's when we discover just who God is and how He worls in this world, even if the other questions don't always get answered.  Perhaps it's in Silence that the most difficult times become the best times.
