Shut up for a while

It greatly annoys me when I remember good ideas but subsequently forget to use them.

The idea this week was to shut up and let silence reign. To give people in church time out to think.

When I arrived at my new church the minister would regularly employ this tactic after the sermon. He would conclude and then sit and let the people ponder the message in silence.

It is actually quite powerful.

But then I forget to do it last Sunday evening. Oops.
