[Oe List ...] Pentecost Blessings

[Jack Gilles via OE]

Ellie,

I agree that Earth is a more appropriate word than World. World is a
political term, Earth is more comprehensive. As one of our best song
writers I trust your judgements and would urge you to do the editing to
bring that song into our lexicon we can sing with gusto and Spirit!

Thanks!

Jack
