Personal Blog #1- Silence

   It's very easy for anyone, especially college students, to get caught up in all of the things there are to do and not be able to sit and relax in silence.  As a Christian I strongly believe that it is important to sit in the presence of God and feel that.  It is so easy to take this life too seriously and allow school and involvements to take over your life and be a stressor but it is not the end of the world.  Over the course of this semester I have come to realize the power and importance of silent reflection on days, weeks, and months.  This course talked a lot about how to cope with the challenges of life existentially and I highly recommend silence and reflection as a good way of enjoying the Lord's promise of presence.
