Crazy, but fun place!Overwhelmed!https://www.blogger.com/profile/03213476355485623906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21789110.post-1146087937393363482006-04-26T16:45:00.000-05:002006-04-26T16:45:00.000-05:00Here is a thought.

Some aren't quite as severe. It has trained me to block out noise most the time but when I hear things I am grateful that I can hear as well. My cousin who is Deaf believes that since Jesus was closest to God in his quiet times when he went off to pray without interuptions that when we go to Heaven people will be Deaf there as well and so they can have the peace that comes in her silence. I know the Bible talks about healing the Deaf and Blind but she doesn't think she needs to be healed and I can tel you there are many times I have thought deafness wouln't be all bad. However, I am quickly reminded Deaf people don't have noise through their ears but they have visual noise surrounding their language (still they can close there eyes closing my ears only causes noises that my kids make to become louder..MOM CAN'T YOU HEAR ME???) still you get the idea. I thought her perspective was interesting and insightful and it broaden my span of thinking. <BR/> In my silence right now I hear my new puppy wanting off the bed, my tummy growling because they messed up my lunch order today, the computer keyboard clicking when I type and I feel delighted that no one wants anything from me at this moment. <BR/>Long response sorry about that.great2bemehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11185773397112016984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21789110.post-1146062696334754432006-04-26T09:44:00.000-05:002006-04-26T09:44:00.000-05:00Hmmm ... right now, I'm at work, and I hear the hu...Hmmm ... right now, I'm at work, and I hear the hum of the air system, the copier/printer running, someone opening and closing and opening and closing and opening and closing a three-ring binder (I WISH THEY'D STOP ALREADY!), I hear someones computer beeping at them that an email just arrived, I hear keyboards clicking, I hear a weird man next to me saying WHHO-AAHHH (ex-military and very annoying) ...<BR/><BR/>At night ... when I'm in bed and it's really quiet, I hear the fan whirring, I hear background sounds that sound almost like music playing (am I crazy?), I hear my husband SNORING (ugh!)...<BR/><BR/>But when I'm by myself, and praying, I can her the Lord assuring me, loving me. Telling me I am his beloved.<BR/><BR/>If we want to HEAR from God, we need to take the time to be still, quiet, and listen!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing this post.

I think I can empathize with what you are going through. Everything gets really loud. My ENT said "I can't make you hear softer" It was my neurologist who figured it out. Not that you are going to have a migraine but I am aware of what you are talking about. That is all I was trying to say.Aunt Murryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05098201527929471152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21789110.post-1146057154143794402006-04-26T08:12:00.000-05:002006-04-26T08:12:00.000-05:00It is amazing the amount of noise a building can g...It is amazing the amount of noise a building can generate. Computers, appliances, even lights. I, too, try to seek a very quiet place when I pray. Distractions make it very difficult not only to hear Him, but to hear myself. I'd probably go nuts if I lived in Taos. If there is a noise there, I would here it. God bless you, Kenthe voicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10824993404681382716noreply@blogger.com
