Silence

Shhhh...



Everybody quiet...



Was that difficult for you? It seems that silence is such a difficult thing for many people to deal with in America. We would not dare allow silence on the radio or on TV, and of course that has spilled over into the church service where we can't allow there to be any dead air-space. On our drives, we have the music going - not even necessarily vain or bad music, but it's playing and making noise.


When there's nothing going on, you have a tendency to... brace yourselves... to Think. You might find yourself contemplating the things of God.


So, my challenge to all of you - turn off your radios/CDs/tapes in the car for one week. Good or bad - and see how it goes.


Be still and know that I [not I as in Andy, but as in the LORD] am God.
