Today at RevGalBlogPals, Presbyterian Girl wrote: Anyway, it's Pentecost (You won't know it's Pentecost at South this Sunday. People have inappropriately loaded so many other things into the service that there's no time left for Pentecost.) and my very first Friday Five! Thinking about all the gifts of the spirit and what Peter said of the "last days"......
I’ve had two extremely vivid dreams in my life that continue to be guiding truths for me. Would I call either a prophesy? Nope.
No.
Seems to me that so much of the heavens are so awesome that I see wonders whenever I look up. But UFO’s- no—though I keep hoping to see the U.S.S. Enterprise appearing in the sky!
Nope, no “signs” in the sense that you probably mean them, though plenty of signs that have come to function for me as “signs”.
Some languages I’ve had to learn—Hebrew for example—have come to me almost immediately when I’ve begun to study them while others—like Greek or German—have been almost impossible for me to get my mind around. But I’ve never just started speaking or understanding another language out of the blue.
My grandmother, perhaps the wisest woman I've ever known, believed that all of these "gifts of the spirit" were possible and had stories about most of them, so I've always been open to experiencing them, but so far I haven't.

I have experience "prayer language" but I think that's a distinct gift from the gift of speaking in multiple languages at Pentecost. Openness goes a long way-but so does a sense I think I'm hearing in your answers that God speaks to us in the ordinary things...Thanks for your play.
I believe that the most prophetic, sensitive and fore-sightful people are just like you. Grounded in the moment, plugged into the "now" to sound corny.
Great play.
