Faith at Home

BELOW ARE SOME SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO GROW IN YOUR FAITH AT HOME:

Learn to be silent and still.  Don't be afraid of silence.  Get to know yourself again.  Perhaps you and I don't know who we are any more.  Shut off the phone. Shut off the computer.  Shut off the TV.  Can you sit in silence and be at peace with yourself?  If not, there is only one way you'll be able to: practice.  God speaks to us in the "still small voice" that is found only within silence.
