Ascension Follow-up

I was falling asleep when I posted last and It just occurred to me that I didn't finish what I had intended to say ...

When I commented about marveling about how may mind works I wasn't trying to "pat myself on the back." I had meant to continue with the observation that when those perfect ideas pop into my head it is obviously the work of the Holy Spirit and in the final analysis has nothing to do with me.

In the days between the Ascension and Pentecost, as the Church awaits the celebration of the first effusion of the Spirit, it seems very appropriate to acknowledge the Paraclete's action in our own lives.
