Kathie and I are here for you. And all our other friends that care to have conversations that matter. The present conversation I am having with God looks something like this: "Lord, will you help me discover more stretching exercises for the ears of my heart? When I sit with a friend over coffee, the old ways of listening still push their way to the front of the line... helping, sorting, amateur diagnosing, arranging, explaining, etc. And the funny part is that often those ways lead to productive results for my friends. Yet, eventually after a good chat, I feel quite empty. Because my assistance, as good as it might be, helps only to lead to a smoother and more understandable way to live. But Lord, above every good thing is You, and I want for my friends to know You more! And I want to know You more! Help me discover more stretching exercises for the ears of my heart?"
I guess I could say that we are really here for us.
