Silence

When you hear the word "silence" what do you think? What comes to mind?

Lately here are a few thoughts have come to my mind as I study being silent. With silence comes delivery (except where pizza is concerned, ya gotta talk to get it delivered). With silence come protection. With silence some knowledge.

Here's where I struggle. I can't shut up long enough to get delivered, protected or knowledge. I try to pull myself away from the noise of the world . . and it just doesn't seem to work. Until I completely pull away. This past weekend had its moments of silence.

Gary Miller of The Refuge put on his 3rd World Poverty Simulation, DNOW.

When it's dark out, you either build a big fire or stumble around in the dark. I got alone and began to ponder silence and what we're given when we get that way. Those are the three words I've come up with so far.

What about you? What comes to mind?

Be still

and know

that

I

am

GOD. (Psalm 46:10)
