We need to be quiet


The world is so noisy these days! It's more than that: angry, divided, threatening, violent...and sometimes we just need to get away for a bit and gather our thoughts before going back into the fray.

Social media has devolved into a battle of words. The news media has its own agenda, and we struggle to discern fact from opinion. Sometimes we want to throw up our hands in despair.

I conceived this new blog as a place to put into words my own thoughts and feelings...to share them with whoever comes...and hear their thoughts and feelings, too. This is a place to be quiet...to listen...to share...to leave the world behind for a few minutes. Hopefully this is a place to find strength in our common love of God and each other as His children.

So here goes!



We're all a lot like this little bird who believes he's found refuge for a moment. He doesn't realize that, when and if the alarm sounds, his little world will never be the same again. But as Jesus assured us, "even the birds of the air have nests", so we, too, have our refuge in Him. Even a few minutes a day works wonders!

Perhaps, on Tuesdays and Fridays you'll find a few minutes here in addition to your own prayer and devotional time. Anyone who wants to "guest share" at any time is welcome, as are your comments. I'm believing that those who find their way here will be kind, loving, non-confrontational, and check their personal agendas at the door.

  1. Like the first post. Poor bird! But maybe he's found a way to rebuild after each alarm.
