Reclaim this land for Your glory and dwell among Your people.
Send Your Spirit to touch the hearts of our nation’s leaders.
Open their minds to the great worth of human life and the responsibilities that accompany human freedom.
Remind Your people that true happiness is rooted in seeking and doing Your will.
Lead us into a new millennium of life. We ask this through Christ Our Lord.
Comprehension is Key to Useful Communication. There is no Comprehension until there is someone willing to listen to more than the echoes of one’s own version of the facts.
When I wrote this, paraphrasing words of an unknown author, now I do think it should have said a bit more .
Like the importance of not just listening but willing to listen to ALL that is said, not just what might further your narrative,
Because just maybe your current narrative is based incorrect information or innuendos not fact needs to be at least re-evaluated and as likely changed.
This was been a hard learned lesson but may explain why there are topics I find it useless to address – because they are not asking questions to learn, only to find more ways to twist reality with their alcohol induced fantasies/narratives.
