Time to blog

"Be still and know that I am God"

A few weeks ago I got to experience that by visiting Billy Graham's training center located in the Smoky mountains. I don't know about you but some times I have a hard time being still long enough to listen to God. It just so happens that I am one of those gadget guys with an I-pod and a cell phone on me at all times. However as I got to the Cove I quickly realized that I didn't have cell phone service except for one spot on the porch. There was also no sportcenter on the TV since there was not one there. After the first night the shakes went away and I really began to like knowing that I was disconnected for a little while. I really began to like the silence to be able to be more in tune with God. When you think about it these gadgets are supposed to make our life easier and more connected, but do they really? It kind of makes you wonder how many opportunities we miss with the creator. Sure a 42 inch plasma looks good on Super-bowl Sunday, but not as good as a beautiful mountain side view when God wants to connect with you!

"Be Still and know that I am God"

Maybe mom was on to something when she would ask. Can't you JUST SIT STILL?
