Silence

I love silence.



At Roskill, we start our services with a short time of silence (often too short..), and I love it. I love that, in silence, there is nothing else to do but listen. There are not many times during my week that I get to sit, in silence, totally focused, waiting on God. Actually, if I was honest, I can't remember the last time (outside the comforts of Roskill) I sat in total silence, and just...listened. Of course I have my quiet times, my Beckie and God time, but they're often not in total silence. I listen to music. Or sing. Or the TVs on in the next room. Or I listen to my own thoughts. But imagine how much more I'd hear, if all of that was taken away, and I was left with...nothing...





...stillness...






...silence.
