I love that word for so many reasons but the number one reason is how it makes me feel.  Just saying or hearing the word sparks a feeling of calmness and peace on the inside.  In a time when there is so much to do and so much going on we seldom get a chance to just stop and take a breath.  Tranquility is the feeling when you take in a deep breath, hold it for a second and then slowly let it out.  Well just as the last of the breath is exhaled that’s when you feel it.  I was always told growing up that when your angry or stressed out before you say anything you might regret take a deep breathe first.  I guess if we took the time to allow more tranquility in our lifes, things may seem a little bit nicer.  There might even be a chance we may hear God a bit clearer as well.  Like Pastor Troy always says you can learn anything if your the one always talking.  Just some food for thought…
