Message from the Sea

An incredible change took place in the disciples between the time when they were in the boat and during Acts 1. That change needs to take place in us too. We have God's holy spirit in us: has our transformation been as great as the disciples when they received the spirit in Acts? Have we ever thought deeply about the incredible miracle of our calling?
