In Genesis 1:26 (AMP) God says, “Let Us (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) make man in Our image….” This verse reveals God as the Trinity, and we need to worship and have relationship with each Person of the Godhead. It seems more common to hear people talk about God and Jesus, but the Holy Spirit does not get enough of our attention. It’s import- ant to understand that He is a person who has a personality, a will, knowledge, a mind, and He thinks and knows things. For example, 1 Corinthians 2:11 (AMP) tells us that “no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.” In John 16:7 we learn some of the facets of His personality and how we need Him to work in our lives. In this verse Jesus says, “… If I do not go away, the Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor – Counselor, Strengthener, Standby) will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him (the Holy Spirit) to you [to be in close fellowship with you]” (AMP). This scripture teaches that He is our… • Counselor—always go to God fi rst for counsel and let Him speak to you His way, through the people or things He chooses. • Advocate—He pleads our case when we’re in trouble. ments. She was a social butter- fl y and a smart woman. Elaine married Bill Kitcher, the love of her life, and celebrat- ed 35 years together. She is survived by a son, Mike Tripp of Cottage Grove, three daughters, Cindy Breakfi eld of Harrisburg, Diane Tripp of Flor- ence, and Lizz Tripp of Con- necticut, a step-son, Tim Kitch- er of Yoncalla, a step-daughter, Debbie Kitcher of Washington, two brothers, Marshall Noel of Fresno, Calif. and Carroll Noel of Eugene, fi ve grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, Bill Kitcher, and step-son, Billy Kitcher.
