The Lord was not in the wind. . . .

Last week, Mom issued a challenge to Dad and the boys to work up a dramatic interpretation of Sunday's Gospel:

1 Kgs 19:9a, 11-13a

At the mountain of God, Horeb,
Elijah came to a cave where he took shelter.
Then the LORD said to him,
"Go outside and stand on the mountain before the LORD;
the LORD will be passing by."
A strong and heavy wind was rending the mountains
and crushing rocks before the LORD--
but the LORD was not in the wind.
After the wind there was an earthquake--
but the LORD was not in the earthquake.
After the earthquake there was fire--
but the LORD was not in the fire.
After the fire there was a tiny whispering sound.
When he heard this,
Elijah hid his face in his cloak
and went and stood at the entrance of the cave.

Here are the results:
Elijah in the cave

Elijah on top of the mountain as the wind passes by



An earthquake passed by
After the earthquake, there was a fire
A tiny whispering sound (slippers)

Elijah went and hid his face in his cloak
