Does God Still Speak Today? (Continued)

I fully intended to write about times I've felt that God has spoken to me. 
I started the post. 
It's currently saved in my drafts...It might eventually be deleted. 
I just can't quite get it together. 

Personal experiences can be...well just that.  Personal. 
They could be misunderstood.
People could think I'm completely nuts.  (they might be right)

(listening to voices in my head)
(things that defy logic)
(dreams - or maybe I was partly awake)  

Experiences in village churches where I couldn't even understand the preacher.
Signs on trees.
Did I mention those voices in my head?   Or the things that cannot be logically explained?

Like I said people might think I'm completely nuts!  Therefore if you want to hear these stories come over, drink tea (or bring your own coffee) and ask questions.   (have I ever mentioned I love when people ask questions?) I like telling stories (especially God stories) if I think people want to hear them.   And I don't even care but so much if you think I'm nuts as long as you're there with me. 

And does God speak today?   Yes.   I believe he does but probably not always in the ways that you would like for him to speak.

And now....
this is not a story of God speaking today but God does not change so maybe we can learn something from what Elijah learned long ago. 

The Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore the mountains and broke in pieces the rocks But the Lord was not in the wind.  And after the wind an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake.  And after the earthquake a fire but the LORD was not in the fire.  And after the fire the sound of a still small voice - And that was the voice of the LORD.   (1 Kings 19)

Random Thoughts and Questions on Prayer

Here's something I've been thinking about for a couple of months now. I guess I will go ahead and get it off of my chest.  I...
