Having given this blog thing a go a few years ago, it is with some degree of hesitancy that I re-enter the blogging world. The irony is that what I'm feeling a need to say is that we all need to work at saying less. I break my silence to plead for more silence in our lives. I speak up to say that we all- including me, perhaps especially me- need to shut up. In our culture of wordiness and noise, I am coming more and more to believe that the most profound Scripture may be the simple sentence "Be still and know that I am God."
So, In the Quiet will offer infrequent, brief, simple observations concerning the value of silence, solitude, simplicity as healthy pathways toward meaningful spirituality. My prayer is that encountering Him will be the result, for no other result matters after all is said (in our world of words) and done (in our zealous hyperactivity). So, each time you pay a visit to this site, if, in fact, you ever return, I urge you...Be still!
