Why is silence so hard to deal with? Why is it so much easier for us to live
our lives with a lot of things going on all the time than to just be in silence?
We're constantly surrounded by "voices" that are influencing us on how to think,
feel, and behave. Movies, music, TV, internet, cell phones, and a never-ending
barrage of advertising. There's always something going on, always noise in our
lives, but maybe there's a connection between the amount of noise in our lives
and our inability to hear God. If God sometimes feels distant to us, maybe it's
not because he's not talking to us, but simply because we aren't really
listening.

that fits our world. It's a format that's there for us when we need it, as we
need it, how we need it.
