Live current events often makle up my weekly messages, and this past week is no exception. We were visiting my wife’s brother and sister-in-law in Sarasota, FL when I was once again reminded of the importance of listening.

In this instance we were the recipient of a non-stop verbal updating that soon became the topic of this week’s message.

There was no give-and-take in today’s example. We spent 90-minutes “taking.” Give a 5-minute listen to today’s post and you will once again receive my message loud and clear …. I hope.

Listening, my friends, remains the key for healthy, ongoing relationships.

    We all exhibit the human tendency to think of the worse case scenario when we venture into the unknown. Today's message uses a car jack (tool) as an example of why it does not always make sense to talk ourselves into a tizzy before it is time to do so.
