The Sound of Silence
I recently read something (I can’t find the source) in which the writer asked this question: “How often do you hear a baby crying in a church service these days? The sound of silence is deafening, is it not?” Wow! That certainly hits at something we do not much want to talk about._________________________________________________This resource is created by ElderQuest Ministries, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

And yet, I wonder if we even understand what “common sense” means._________________________________________________This resource is created by ElderQuest Ministries, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
