A Blessed Pentecost to You!

Posted on by

وَلَمَّا جَاءَ الْيَوْمُ الْخَمْسُونَ، كَانَ الإِخْوَةُ مُجْتَمِعِينَ مَعاً فِي مَكَانٍ وَاحِدٍ، 홀연히 하늘로부터 급하고 ê°•í•œ 바람 같은 소리가 있어 저희 앉은 온 집에 가득하며 Potom sa zjavili plamene, akoby ohnivé jazyky, ktoré horeli nad hlavou každého z nich.  Tutti i presenti furono pieni di Spirito Santo e cominciarono a parlare in altre lingue, come lo Spirito Santo li guidava.  А тогава престояваха в Ерусалим юдеи, благочестиви човеци, от всеки народ под небето.  γενομενης δε της φωνης ταυτης συνηλθεν το πληθος και συνεχυθη οτι ηκουον εις εκαστος τη ιδια διαλεκτω λαλουντων αυτων  Siling nila, “Ano ini? Pulos sila mga taga-Galilea!  Vậy thì sao chúng ta nghe ai nầy đều nói tiếng riêng của xứ chúng ta sanh đẻ?  ÕŠÕ¡Ö€Õ©Õ¥Ö‚Õ¶Õ¥Ö€, Õ„Õ¡Ö€Õ¥Ö€ Õ¸Ö‚ Եղամացիներ, Õ¥Ö‚ Õ¡Õ¶Õ¸Õ¶Ö„ Õ¸Ö€ Õ¯Õ¨ Õ¢Õ¶Õ¡Õ¯Õ«Õ¶ Õ„Õ«Õ»Õ¡Õ£Õ¥Õ¿Ö„Õ«, Õ€Ö€Õ§Õ¡Õ½Õ¿Õ¡Õ¶Õ«, Ô¿Õ¡ÕºÕ¡Õ¤Õ¸Õ¾Õ¯Õ«Õ¡ÕµÕ«, ÕŠÕ¸Õ¶Õ¿Õ¸Õ½Õ«, Ô±Õ½Õ«Õ¡ÕµÕ«, Früügias ja Pamfüülias, Egiptuses ja Küreene-poolses Liibüas, ja siin asuvad roomlased, juudid ühes nende usku pöördunutega, כרתים וערבים ×”× ×” אנחנו שמעים אתם מספרים בלשנותינו גדלות האלהים׃  Hepsi hayret ve ÅŸaÅŸkınlık içinde birbirlerine, ‹‹Bunun anlamı ne?›› diye sordular.  Abanye ke babehlekisa ngabo, besithi, Bahluthi yiwayini enencasa.  Þá steig Pétur fram og þeir ellefu, og hann hóf upp rödd sína og mælti til þeirra: ,,Gyðingar og allir þér Jerúsalembúar! Þetta skuluð þér vita. Ljáið eyru orðum mínum.  irgazen-agi ur skirÌ£en ara am akken i É£ilen kra seg-wen, axatÌ£er ațan d țesÉ›a n sÌ£sÌ£behÌ£ kan !  Baina haur da Ioel prophetáz erran içan dena.  神說：在末後的日子，我要把我的靈澆灌所有的人，你們的兒女要說預言，你們的青年人要見異象，你們的老年人要作異夢。Und auf meine Knechte und auf meine Mägde will ich in denselbigen Tagen von meinem Geist ausgießen, und sie sollen weissagen.  また、上では、天に奇跡を見せ、／下では、地にしるしを、／すなわち、血と火と立ちこめる煙とを、／見せるであろう。Solen skal bli til mørke og mÃ¥nen til blod, før Herrens dag kommer, den store og herlige.  И будет: всякий, кто призовет имя Господне, спасется.  “Wananchi wa Israeli, sikilizeni maneno haya! Yesu wa Nazareti alikuwa mtu ambaye mamlaka yake ya kimungu yalithibitishwa kwenu kwa miujiza, maajabu na ishara Mungu alizofanya kati yenu kwa njia yake, kama mnavyojua.

The Joys of Small Town Life

I went to the pharmacy to get my Allegra refilled and found out that I had no refills left.  They let me call down to my doctor’s office and I left a message for one of the docs that I see (not the prescriber — he’s out today) to ask for a refill on it.

After going over to the local coffeeshop and spending some time reading letters and the paper, I came back to the pharmacy not expecting to actually *HAVE* them refill it.  Well… it turns out that the doctor’s office called and asked about my history with the drug and my pharmacist told them that I’d had it for at least the 18 months he’s known me and to please fill it.

So… I had to wait another 5 minutes but I at least got my Allegra today.  It’s nice to have a pharmacist who knows me enough to advocate for me.  :)

It’s my cubic birthday today.  (Figure it out yourselves.)  Jon and I went down to Great Falls and saw Shrek the Third.  I enjoyed it (despite what others thought) and I recommend it — it’s cute and it involves an orange kitty.  :)

We also hit up the mall and I got some stuff at Bath & Body Works and Victoria’s Secret before seeing the movie, getting $tarbuck$, and heading over to my aunt and uncle’s for dinner.  After the visit with the family, we made a Wal-Mart run and headed back up to our Little Town on the Prairie.

Thank you to everyone who sent cards, left me MySpace and Facebook messages, and snet good karma my way.  It was a nice birthday, especially since I wasn’t stuck in the ER with a gallstone attack like I was 2 years ago!!!
