Sorry it’s been a while since our last post. Hopefully, there are still a few folks who will drop in every now and again to read or share.
Dee is doing well. Actually, she’s working on her dissertation today (meeting with her adviser this afternoon). She’s making good progress in her studies and very much enjoys her class that she teaches each week (consisting of both graduate & undergraduate students).
I was thinking today of the impact of our communication with one another, especially as members of the faith family. Do we consider much the influence our conversations bear upon those around us? This seems to be an area where one can ever-so-easily drift, slowly but surely, from the shores of guarded words. When does general conversation concerning someone else transition to being ‘gossip’? How do we safeguard against going ‘too far’ concerning information, opinion, or ‘concern’ in talking of others?
Oftentimes, we celebrate those who speak well. Those who can wow us oratorically tend to stand out from the crowds. Yet, what of those who are silent well? What of those who seem not to belittle others in order to make themselves look all the better? How do we cultivate good conversation? That conversation that exalts Christ and radiates his love toward others.
Just thinking… :happy:
