Pancakes in Paris

I had a job interview in Paris this week and went over early to walk around, enjoying coffee and crepes in the sunshine, by the side of the Seine.

I also visited Notre Dame. It was full of tourists of course, all very noisy, but as I sat in the church and prayed, there was a real sense of God’s presence. Even though the school children around me were so loud, it was as if there was a silence you could listen to as well.

The Bible talks about God speaking with a still small voice.

We live in a noisy world, one full of pictures and images. But God still speaks for ‘those that have ears to hear’ (one of Jesus favourite sayings).
