"Why are we so afraid of silence?"01 May 2005Family10 mins
Why is silence so hard to deal with? Why is it so much easier for us to live our lives with a lot of things going on all the time than to just be in silence?

If God sometimes feels distant to us, maybe it's not because he's not talking to us, but simply because we aren't really listening.
