I've been digging this simple book by Margaret Feinberg ... subtitled "Hearing God's voice in every area of your life." She cleverly elaborates on How God really wants to get our full attention ...and how He not only whispers something once .. He Echoes! It is so easy to put God in a box and expect to hear from Him the same way, the same place and the same time .... what happens when He doesn't? Hmmmm... This book also reminds me of one I read in college .... David Crowder's book "Praise Habit" in which he compared our spiritual life to that of a nun's habit (worn all day as a reminder of her role and discipline as a spiritual leader) - Both these books have truly helped me seek God in creative ways, in creative times and in creative places... and He sure does echo! "...God's Word is our only source of indisputable truth... and throughout scripture God speaks through kings and queens, princes and prophets, poets and pilgrims. He speaks through weather patterns, barnyard animals, and even the stars in the sky. God is not only creative, but he is persistent in getting our attention and communicating with us."

It's not that God is not communicating ... the question is "Are you truly listening? "

Adjust the weights. If you need suggestions to start off lighter I can help! =).
I already got one of my boys in Miami doing it. I'm trying to get lots of people in Miami hooked on it!
