Beautiful morning. Nice and quiet the way it was supposed to be. Cool. Was surprised how many cars were pulling in and how many HC’s we had. EOP usually a smaller, but tougher, crowd. This was a good sign. Lot of PAX ready for the weekend.

We live in a noisy world. A busy world. It’s hard to be quiet. This morning it was hard. But when we listened, we heard birds, we heard the hard work of our brother, we heard encouragement.
If we’re in a noisy place, the minute the noise stops it’s incredibly… peaceful.
We need more quiet in our lives. More peace. A poem hangs on my wall in my office – not sure where I got it, but I’ve had it forever. It’s by Roy Lessin:
In the Quiet:
It is in quiet obedience that we follow his footsteps
It is in quiet reflection that we hear his voice
It is in quiet assurance that we find his rest
It is in quiet labor that we do his work
It is in quiet trust that we find his strength
It’s a very busy, noisy world. Seek some quiet in your life. You’ll be surprised what you find. Psalm 46:10.
