1 kings 19
"the Lord told Elijah,
go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by
then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. after the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. after the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. and after the fire came a gentle whisper. then elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave."
elijah cleared his mind. he ignored the rumblings of his situation and focused on the stillness. that's when he realized that that whisper wasn't just another distraction, but the voice of God. our pastor preached on this last week. you can look it up at hamiltonhills.org.

i hear it- i just don't want to deal with what it is saying. i need you to email me your phone #- i have lost the new one in the move. thanks my friend.
you know i love this passage. GOD's voice is so quiet, and so unbelievably clear in its whiperings.
it is clear, but we have to stop, remove barriers and then just listen.
