Sit By The Lake And Listen To The Whispers Of His Voice
White River Lake

Imagine sitting by a lake and just listening to the surroundings around it. What do you see and what do you hear? The water is gently rolling and the fish are constantly jumping in the lake. The lake is full and the water is still and quiet. We sit on the lakeside and admire God’s beauty as the sun sets over the water. We see his creation all around the lake, and the gentle sounds of nature that are surrounding it.

Sometimes in our Christian lives, we get so caught up in the everyday tasks that we forget to just be still and admire God’s true beauty.

Go to the lake and sit there on the lakeside and just be still and listen. Look at the water and just reflect on the peace of the lake. Life can get so stressful and there are times that we get so busy, that we often forget to take the time to just sit and listen to the nature surrounding us. Sit at the lakeside and just look into the water of the still and quiet lake and see God’s beauty for what it is. Take the time to just sit and listen to the gentle whisper of the Lord and watch the quiet and still waters in the lake. Go to the lakeside and watch a sunset and reflect on your life at the lake and see what God has created.

Psalm 46:10 (New International Version) “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

Jeremiah 47:6 (King James Version) O thou sword of the Lord, how long will it be ere thou be quiet? Put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest and be still.

Be still and listen to the beautiful sounds of nature that surround as the sun sets over the water. Go to the lakeside and know that God is with you and hear the gentle whisper in your ear. Listen to the quiet and still waters of the lake as the sun sets over the water. Be still and listen to the surrounding sounds and the gentle whispers. Go to the lakeside and reflect on the true beauty that God has created. Watch a sunset over the still and quiet waters and know that God is in control. Go to the lakeside and reflect on the true beauty of the Creator, and be still and know that He is there with you. Amen.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
