The sound of “silence.” Every Thursday night she comes to worship … with her daughter holding tight to her arm. Her daughter has lost much of her ability to see … her mom is her guiding light. I feel the love when they come to the altar for the Lord’s Supper. Mom had a stroke this week. After worship last night I go to the hospital to visit her. She is not talking right now. So, we hold hands, pray, and I put a “little Jesus” on the table next to her. No words: just the “sound of silence.” The world can be a noisy place. In the middle of all the noise … there is the quiet power of a humble carpenter: reaching inside our souls to bring peace and hope and goodness. This morning Bonnie will see “little Jesus” —– more than just a cute little thing … rather, it’s a reminder of a spirit residing deep inside the heart of each one of us. Wherever your journey takes you today … we don’t “walk” alone. A “higher power” calls us to listen to the “sound of silence.” Peace to all — Don
