Does God exist, speak, and act?

Let’s ruminate -- for starters . . .

God exists, speaks, and acts throughout scripture. Its’ text record things God says, things others say about and to God; in fact more is said about and to God, more than the Divine ever say for themselves. Likewise divine action and activity, God acts alone, acts with others, others act with God, some against God, some just act, while others don’t act at all, and at times God also doesn't act.

Have I covered all the bases?

If so, its "chewing time" . . . 

Speaking and acting implies existence . . . so also does silence and inaction – if you don’t exist, you can’t be silent or inactive . . . what’s not there is absence, not silence . . . silence and inaction isn't absence, it’s silence and inaction . . .
