Be still, and know that I am God
~Psalm 46:10
A great silence overcomes me,
and I wonder why I ever thought
to use language.

...thoughts about everyday life--with its joys and sorrows and oh, so many mysteries-- about opening our eyes to see God's hand and HEART in the details of daily life and about learning to hear His whispers of love in the midst of a shouting world...
what's with the title...?
a wordplay on the song title "It's The Hard Knock Life" from the musical 'Annie.' why? because, though at times life seems like it's just full of 'hard knocks,' it is truly full of wonderful displays of God's love for us...if we will but look. He enjoys reminding us of His amazing love in even the smallest ways!... like in the shape of a rock... a heart rock... whispering "My love for you is rock-solid!" so, this is what i want my time on earth to be about --pursuing A Heart Rock Life--seeing and delighting in the creativity, wonder, and love of the Lord no matter what life brings my way!
what's with the heart rocks...?
who am i...?

You are a soul.
You have a body.

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. ...1 Kings 19:11-13
What beautiful visual meditations on peace...One of my favorite quotes, too. Thanks for the inspiration of to start my day.
