"On December 1, 1875 the beacon of the Currituck Beach Lighthouse filled the remaining "dark space" on the North Carolina coast between the Cape Henry light to the north and Bodie Island to the south. " (from brochure @ Currituck Lighthouse)
Think on this: The season of Pentecost is a celebration of the Holy Spirit coming in power to the world. The early chapters of the New Testament book of Acts tells of the transformation that took place in the lives of the disciples with the coming of the Holy Spirit. This was God's plan all along: a crucified, risen, and exalted Christ would not leave us as orphans (John 14:18), but would send us a Counselor (John14:26) who would lead us "into all truth" (John 16:13). With the fullness of the Spirit, there are no more remaining "dark places" of the heart.
John 16:7 (NKJV): "But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you."
"Holy Spirit of God, visit now this soul of mine, and tarry within it until the eventide. Inspire all my thoughts. Pervade all my imaginations. Suggest all my decisions. Lodge in my soul's most inward citadel, and order all my doings. Be with me in silence and in my speech, in my haste and in my leisure, in company and in solitude, in the freshness of the morning and the weariness of the evening. Give me grace at all times to rejoice in Thy mysterious companionship." - John Baillie

God speaks..... through a closed up bookstore
On a recent walking trip through downtown Roanoke, I noticed an empty storefront that used to house a bookstore. What struck my attention was the fact that a year or so ago, my family and I were chatised by the owner of the bookstore for looking at / reading books in the store. Apparently, you were supposed to "judge the book by its cover" without touching. Who knew?
Think on this: Jesus has come that life, full life may be experienced. Anytime we memorialize Jesus and place him on display, we are robbed of purpose and power. Jesus is to be embraced and experienced through relationship.
John 1:41 - 42 (NKJV) "He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated, the Christ). And he brought him to Jesus."
John 4:42 (NKJV) "Then they said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard Him and we know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.”
