MEANWHILE... Do you prefer to say you "wrap UP" a conversation or "wind DOWN" a conversation... and why do these both basically mean the same thing?

Communicators: perhaps you are frustrated because you are doing the things that used to work, and now they don't work as well, and massive adaptation to learn to communicate to be well understood is required. That's hard! But that's the job.

We all know is a bigger challenge for those who work with people who have learning difficulties and other disadvantages. I wonder, is it also true in an age when more and more people just have shorter attention spans and in general seem to lack understanding.

My wife finished doing our taxes today (as she's done for near 30 years), and taught one of our adult children to do theirs in the future. She's amazing! I, however, watered the plants, so I'm worth something.

We don't need to fear even if we see an increase of wickedness around us, as longs as our love is not “growing cold.” But when his followers stop loving people in all the ways he commanded (including the “least of these”), well, then we have a clue that we have been deceived.

When it comes to questions and worries about the #EndTimes, I tend to “check my heart” most in response. This is not a response as a cliché, but as __obedience__ to the way Jesus talked about the end of the age in his message about those times in Matthew 24…

...she just listens to the voice inside her that says what to do. She said, “I can't remember the last time I went to church. My faith has carried me a long way. It's Sheilaism. Just my own little voice." Do you see this thinking in our world today? 2/2 daviddrury.substack.com/p/what-did-j...
