Twin Groves Wind Farm lies in McClean County, just west of where we live. There are 240 Wind Turbine Generators that rise above the flat farm ground like giant pinwheels. They are nearly 400 feet tall from the bottom of the tower to the the top of the arc of the propellers. Gleaming white, the turbines glint in the sun as they swish round and round. As you can tell from the above video - the wind blows with some power making the generators produce electricity. It is fascinating to watch, especially by standing directly under the towers. I recently took my brother from Louisiana out to see them. It was 6 degrees and the wind was howling - not a good environment for a fellow from Louisiana.
The bible talks about the wind. There is something mysterious about it Jesus told Nicodemus. And, the scripture speaks of the Spirit in terms of the wind. I want our church to be like the wind turbines - used by the Spirit, moved by the Spirit, made for the Spirit. And, like the turbines, I want us to be a light on a hillside.
