Premise: that as we talk to one another, it is important that we ask one another about life through questions.

Has anyone asked you a question that made you think (or say), now that’s a good question! Please share it with us in the comments.

OR, if you are a mentor, or a person who helps apprentices or are a disciple-maker, would you PLEASE think about a good question that you have been asked or have asked another person. Or, are there a couple of questions that you use frequently when seeking to deepen a conversation beyond a surface small talk?

OR if you have a good question that you got from some writing or whatever and it impacted you, please share it.

PLEASE help us out and share your question(s) in the comments section below.

You don’t try to be profound, C. S. Lewis says that profundity comes naturally, it isn’t conjured up. Comments now please…

Questions are a key to understanding. John Wilsey has written an important review of a volume on asking questions and critical thought.

(The Atlantic) “One jolt of turbulence was so strong that a flight attendant, not yet strapped in, hit her head on the airplane’s ceiling. After another sudden drop, the lights went out on one side of the cabin. The violent ups and downs kept getting worse. Two rows ahead of Goolsbee, a professional-looking woman in her 50s began wailing, “We’re going to die! We’re all going to die!” “Everyone was looking around and on the border of panic,” Goolsbee told me recently. “I was kind of wishing someone would start yelling, ‘No, we’re all not going to die!’”

I have awakened (in more ways than one) this morning realizing that I am entering/have entered a quiet time.

I need to reflect on ideas, conversations and relationships, to hear from God about these.

Often, to do this kind of reflection requires intentional quiet, solitude, silence. This is one of those times.

Thus, my Internet presence has become quiet for a time.

too bad about UVa, Dukes gone, who to pull for now? Ah! VCU!
