Quote of the Day

Children live in a world of dreams and imagination, a world of aliveness...There is a voice of wonder and amazement inside of all of us; but we grow to realize we can no longer hear it, and we live in silence. It isn't that God stopped speaking; it is that our lives became louder.

~ Mike Yaconelli in DANGEROUS WONDER: THE ADVENTURE OF CHILDLIKE FAITH
