I'm a talker. In fact, that might be an understatement. At times I blame my deviated septum, saying that I talk so much because I have to breathe through my mouth. However, the truth is I love to talk and share my thoughts, feelings and opinions...kinda like blogging!
As I've spent time reading the first chapter of the book of James this week, the following words have leaped out at me time and again, "Be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry." James writes this as he is encouraging people to be careful when they are tested and tried in the situations of life.
Wouldn't it be great if in the midst of our stress rather than lashing out we just stopped and listened? Imagine how it might change us and our perspective.
This quick talker is hoping to learn to be quick to listen in the days to come...I hope you'll do the same!
Enjoy the journey!
Scot
