“In this world of clashing standards, we can only persuade people to consider our view when we learn to dialogue with as much grace as conviction.”
James Robison
The Stream p.123;Worthy Books 2016
In day to day living, this is true. As important as grace is, so is dialogue. That involves sharing thoughts and listening to others’. During this Corona Virus, we are certainly not all on the same page. I am not fearful. I am careful and respectful.
Personally, feeling the cure is worse than the problem. Deaths via depression, addictions, or starvation are still deaths.
I love to learn, but can't keep it to myself.
I am a writer, though, so I know how many edits, rewrites---and hours it takes to grab a reader's attention, and then to keep it.
I will always give credit where credit is due and THEN I hope you will double my joy by visiting a library or book source and reading (or listening) to the book yourself.
A practice I've taken up recently is this: After reading a book, with pencil, I go back to read and pray through what I've underlined. It's been an incredible experience.
If a quote I share strikes a chord of your heart, I'd love it if you would test-drive my beloved habit.
EverReading--EverGrowing,
Lonnie
