A Moment of Silence

VJ was telling me about a Christian retreat that she went to where they requested that everyone take a vow of silence for three hours.  They were supposed to use this time to mediate, read their Bible, pray, and listen for God’s voice.  By removing the distractions from life, they would better be able to hear it.

While I think this concept is beautiful, I’m not sure I could make it for three hours without talking.  I can barely make it for three minutes.  Heck, my spousal unit even complains that I talk all night in my sleep!
