On this Pentecost Sunday we hear from Ezekiel and his vision of the valley of dry bones. We remember the hopelessness of God’s people and recognize a bit of our own in the heaps of dry bones. We are reminded that resurrection does come after the painful seasons of death and loss and that is both a gift from God and an event that summons us forward into the work of prophesying to the breath and sharing God’s restorative Spirit with others.
