I usually focus on the "rejoice over you with singing" part, but it's a great reminder to know that I'll also be quieted by His love, something that I'm sure I don't realize enough. <BR/><BR/>Thanks Jon.Sarah Lewiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14320309476740815470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339493307883061160.post-57932584432813470432008-11-07T10:09:00.000-08:002008-11-07T10:09:00.000-08:00wow, thanks for this!wow, thanks for this!Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02874316872848470620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339493307883061160.post-55025406788142097722008-11-07T08:45:00.000-08:002008-11-07T08:45:00.000-08:00I love this thought.

Zephaniah is a book in my Bible?" moment and then spent 97 seconds trying to find the book...........oh,how I just bow my head in shame...........<BR/>Anyway your post reminded me of a cardiologist who would run his codes in the ICU, where I worked, with a whisper. You could almost see the staff lean forward to hear his orders. Usually codes were "loud and proud". His codes were always quiet (and more successful). It helped me put a visual to what God tries to do when I am quiet.

I never really noticed until i went to Japan without being able to read more than a few characters of Japanese. Very little of the advertising had any english on it. It was a weird and refreshing change to not be constantly reading advertising messages for a few days.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02202063723994341973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339493307883061160.post-45317708242270237872008-11-06T21:20:00.000-08:002008-11-06T21:20:00.000-08:00I remember way back when, Pastor Rob did a sermon ...I remember way back when, Pastor Rob did a sermon about finding God in the quiet. Be still and know, and the passage about the "still small voice".<BR/><BR/>He did the entire thing in powerpoint, and didn't say a single thing the whole time. We had to read it on the screens.<BR/><BR/>It was one of my favorite sermons ever.<BR/><BR/><BR/>wingnutJason Jaspersehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16442551150692911766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339493307883061160.post-69268503290790100072008-11-06T20:09:00.000-08:002008-11-06T20:09:00.000-08:00I am always surprised that you get so many fewer c...I am always surprised that you get so many fewer comments here than you do on SCL. I don't know why I'm surprised since I am possibly the most sarcastic person on the planet. But 97seconds is such a great ministry. Don't stop! <BR/><BR/>Sometimes there is so much noise I only have a few moments to refocus on what really matters, and this is one of my lifelines (ask the expert?).<BR/><BR/>I am glad God uses His love to quiet us...not a billboard or a screaming commercial. <BR/><BR/>Thank you!GramCrackershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13977588313431649648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339493307883061160.post-74302205879733833582008-11-06T19:51:00.000-08:002008-11-06T19:51:00.000-08:00My world feels like nothing but noise these days.....My world feels like nothing but noise these days....and I need the quiet to find the answers God wants me to see.
