What did the gentle whisper say?

The LORD said, "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. When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. (1st Kings 19:11-13)

I am going to give my blog intent, just do not call it a purpose driven blog. I want to write about the whispers of life. I have always been amazed that our most awesome God would choose to reveal Himself in a whisper. What amazes me more is that people also reveal themselves in whispers. We dress ourselves in the storm of life, but when you watch closely, when you stop to listen, you see and hear the whispers. The whispers reveal the true value of other, their fears, their worries, but also their true loves and true joys. If we are to mourn with people and to celebrate with them, how much more should we hear the whispers after the storm. I want to talk about those whispers, in myself, in others, where ever I am. And I think it is going to be more interesting than 10 am - Had a tuna sandwich, 10:30 am - only ate half the sandwich, 4 pm - funky smell from the kitchen. But then again people might enjoy reading about funky smells.
