I am certain that my desire to interrupt and offer my opinions have suggested that I really don't care about my wife's thoughts and ideas. Shame on me.

It takes like poo but I eat it and then curse myself for doing it. That's my biggest barrier to really listening to other people...when I think I know, I don't listen. When I know I don't know, I listen well. I just need to pretend that I don't know anything at any time! Every day I eat a giant slice of raspberry flavored Pride Pie.

Our pastor disturbs me quite a bit with this attitude. He feels if the other ones aren't "doing it right" he can't even speak to them. I asked a friend her opinion & she responded, "When i hear my (grown) children fighting, my stomach sinks & a rock settles there. I imagine it is similar for God hearing his children (the churches) fighting it out."
