Traveling at the Speed of Silliness - Ron Cornelius
Introduction
There is immeasurable beauty in the stillness. There is a special tranquility in silence. There is indescribable enrichment in a calm and peaceful spirit.
We long for that holiest of places. In the deepest part of us we strive to live in that blessed state where earthly troubles are dissolved and have lost their power over us.
Our challenge is to capture and hold these fleeting and blissful moments. We are in a continuous process of trying to discover the hidden source of this peace, this heavenly oasis.
The simple truth is that these glorious moments can be found without but primarily within us. Deep within, this peace, calm, and stillness are calling to us. They only ask that we humbly listen and are willing to discover what is ready to be revealed.
This was expressed best in a simple profound Psalm prayer. Lord, let me know my own heart.
Dedication

Tapping into that wonderful reservoir of courage and energy has astonishing power to change our lives for the better. It only requires taking the first step.
