Having Ears to Hear
“Son, clean your room.” Dead air. “Son, clean your room.” Dead air. “Son, do you hear me??? Clean your room.” “Oh mom, did you say something to me?” “Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand.” (Mt. 13:9 NLT) Did you know that even as grown adults we can actually hear, but not listen?

I’m thankful for… Andy. He’s the dog Denalyn rescued from the shelter. Rangy as a coyote when we got him. He’s chubby now. He jumps into bed with us every morning and scampers through the yard like a deer in the pasture when we come home. Bald spots.
