It seems that lately bad news is all around us: friends affected with cancer; loved ones caught in addiction; friends losing family without rhyme or reason. It is in those times we want to share words of comfort and wisdom, but no words come. While it makes us feel helpless and inadequate, sometimes the best comfort comes from silence.Job experienced this when his so-called 'friends' came to 'sympathize and comfort' him (Job 2:11).
