Three men die and go to heaven.  They are in a waiting room awaiting an interview to get in to enter heaven.  Man #1 goes in the room and all he could see was a man sitting in a chair.  Man #1 goes in and sits down and the first question the man across from…

Part one of this two part article was about the “still small voice” we can hear through the day to day mania.  It is something that helps us and guides us.  It’s not a loud voice nor is it often audible but it penetrates to our very core.  It is God’s voice, He speaks to us…
