So,
we were visiting with some friends last night, sitting around the dining room
table talking, when all nine kids came inside, into the dining room, all at
once. The noise was pretty incredible. We shooed them all back outside to
continue their game of hide and seek. The noise moved outside and we continued
our conversation.
I
was reminded once again that there is no quiet in community. Whenever there is
a bunch of people together, there will be some noise. Even in the most austere
and intense prayer meetings, there is still the shuffling of feet, the sounds
of breathing, the beating of hearts.
It
makes wonder about the times in my life when things are too quiet.
