The Holy Spirit is at work

 Pentecost may be another week from the time of my writing this blog, but I tell you He IS real and constantly at work.

Three weeks ago, a friend was visiting from Green Bay.  When he left to go home he had lost his glasses.  A week later, I found them.  So he told me to just put them in the mail, but we were also looking for another opportunity to see one another.  That opportunity came.  On May 30th, he and I went to meet half way in lower Wisconsin.  He was happy to have the glasses back, but then something happened.  As we were preparing to leave for dinner, he received a phone call from a friend.  I could hear the conversation.  She asked if he could anoint someone over the phone.  A friend was in the hospital and put into hospice care.  She said the name of the hospital and that they had tried the local parishes and received answering machines at the 5 they tried.  Of course we don't anoint over the phone, but the hospital was no more than a 3 minute drive from where we were.  That's over an hour from here and about 2 hours from where he lives, and we just happened to be in the right place at the right time?  Nope.  There was a higher reason for us to have been there on that day than simply giving back his glasses.  Little did we know.  Little did his friend know.  That is NOT probable, nor possible without intervention from the Holy Spirit.  Try to give me a better explanation.
