July 11, 2007

Good morning. The rain came last night, along with some lightning and thunder to help me sleep better. Right. Sometimes we get in a pattern of late night storms that can really put a crimp on the sleep time. It does make for a nice, cool morning though. I hear from one of my farmer friends that her wheat harvest is complete. Praise the Lord for that! Did you ever think about practicing to listen? I have often thought that talking comes very naturally to most people, but listening requires more practice. I see in the secular media that there is no need for sexist remarks in this area any longer as a new study has shown men and women are both equally "chatty" in conversation. Years of bad jokes and a few funny ones have just been killed off with one study. Actually, you are correct; the jokes about talkative women will probably not go away quite that easily. I have noticed in our meetings at work that men are just as deserving of those jokes; there are men who do love to hear themselves talk, and just like the women in those jokes, they don't have to say much while doing it. While we should always remember that God created man and woman to be different and how wonderful those differences are, we should also rejoice when an unfair wrong is set right. Either sex has its share of "bum raps" saying one group is worse in some regard to the other, and it is good to see one disproved. Praise the Lord for all of our differences, not just the ones between the sexes!

God bless and keep you!
