On thursday I will go on retreat. 3 days of silence. no phone, no blackberry, no computer. Those who know me are not sure how I will cope.
But the point is to cut yourself off and just listen to God. As a vicar I will need to do that more and more. Probably all of us should. The reality of our modern lives is we have a lot of 'white noise' a lot of sounds that distract us and stop us thinking. It is only in silence we can hear ourselves and hopefully God
So I will enjoy the unnatural silence

Cannot believe anyone expected you to be silent ever, even for 3 secs let alone 3 days!! But seriously this comes with all my love and prayers both for the weekend and all things that are to come as the next part of your journey unfolds.

Too right I can't believe anybody except God I guess has managed to keep Jeremy quiet for 3 whole days and without any form of communication with the outside world.
