On a sharp day, I will come down and turn on the radio for just a few minutes while I'm sitting up, before starting your video. I don't know if I said this, but thank you for that very welcoming intro and music every day. I don't know if I have reached for the power button as quickly as I did today after listening to a caller who seemed like the type of person that wanted to be a good citizen and he was loudly asking a whole bunch of questions that have large geopolitical implications. I'm pretty convinced he didn't want to hear the answers and if he did hear them he would have some loud and unthinking refute. I definitely don't want to be that guy and I wonder how many stubborn people you're talking to today. I'm probably one of them in a number of ways that were brought to my attention after a patience testing evening last night. I am glad that at least I realized what was happening and why I didn't want to be that way and I'm not sure how to move forward when you regularly have to interact with people who don't necessarily want to hear and answer. I'm getting a bit rambly but I appreciate this message because of how timely it is, coming on the heels of a good refresher of who I want to be and who I don't want to be.
I forgot to add how much I appreciate it the old turn table. When I started feeling a bit welcoming of autumn earlier this year, I found myself turning into UA-cam for Ambience and background music. It was amazing how much that was more like a.m. radio or music coming from the other room. It was interesting in that certain sounds like ambient but chirping was sharp and clear but the music sound like I had hearing loss. It was endearing for a while but after a bit, I found it a bit taxing on my mind and was real proof for me that hearing loss can certainly affect your ability to think and to interact when you need to spend that much more energy on hearing what is being said.
Right exactly. This is sort of the same thing that I kind of feel with my voice as it changes. Times when I don't feel like I have enough breath for the conversation, but I have to work so hard to make myself heard. I end up thinking well it's not really worth it to express my idea. And I just sit back.
@thefieldpastor My videographer from the last few days told me his story about how people said it sounded like he was intoxicated, being a teetotaler his whole life. Turned out that because of his hearing loss he was slurring his words and not enunciating properly which stopped as soon as he could hear properly again.
Suuuuch a wonderful Word! Thank you ‘letting’ God speak through you 💜
This is a great Sunday sermon!! You preach it! So simple yet can be so hard ! God bless you! Amen
And look at that God was faithful enough to give me a Sunday sermon as well! 😅
