The Holy Spirit gives believers the power to live like Jesus and be bold witnesses for Him. Of course, there are many ways He goes about doing this, so we’re going to look at the most common ones.
Jesus said in John 16:7 that it was to our benefit that He would go away so we would receive the Holy Spirit: “But in fact, it is best for you that I go away, because if I don’t, the Advocate won’t come. If I do go away, then I will send him to you.”
If Jesus said it is best for us that He goes away, then it must be because there is something valuable about what the Holy Spirit was coming to do. Here is one instance in Acts 1:8 that gives us strong clues: “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

We human beings cannot wait to bid the Year 2020 good riddance. The year is leaving behind unpleasant souvenirs, as it is dissolving to yield place to 2021 to mount the saddle.
New words, new phrases, new adjectives, and new phrasal verbs entered our lexicon in 2020 and within the twinkle of an eyelid gained currency. Everywhere human beings know what is called Coronavirus alias COVID-19. x
The brutal reign of Mr. COVID-19 has forced school children and students to talk about online classes, Google classroom, platforms, about the computable based test. I am told it is called CBT. There are Zoom conferences. And you hear of virtual meetings.

For many, the holidays are a time when the major issue with food is concern about overeating.
For others, the holidays are just like the days before and the days after, when the big issue with food and perhaps the big issue, period is worry about having enough.
One of the ways society deals with that concern is the charity system, which in Blair County, includes the Altoona Food Bank.
That organization is relocating this week from the 2100 block of Sixth Avenue to a renovated building on the 2300 block of North Branch Avenue, not far from the new home of Blair County Community Action Agency and the future location of Family Services’ homeless shelter both of which have missions that intersect with the food bank’s.
