Amen. Had one of those “and You want me to WHAT?” moments at stake conference yesterday, myself.

Watched “The Bucket List” last night and had a light bulb moment, sort of in that department. Jack Nickolson and Morgan Freeman are watching sunset at the pyramids in Egypt and Freeman says the Egyptians had a legend that a person is asked two questions to gain entry into heaven. The first is what was your greatest joy in life? The second is what joy have you brought into the life of another? Listening to and obeying God’s will could provide those answers.

Amen. I’ve complained to God – and anyone else who’ll listen – that I try to comply, but I could use clearer directions!

When we opened our drapes this morning, the young woman next door had already nearly finished shoveling that white stuff off our sidewalks. In that moment, she was definitely doing her best.

“Point me in the right direction–and please, loudly enough that I might stand a chance of hearing it above the noise.”

you have hit the nail squarely on the head here — perhaps its just that where I live there is too much noise

Thank you for the reminder. I needed this today.

In the “too much noise” department, I’ve discovered that if I keep my own noise level down, I hear better.

Wow! What a empowering post this is! Thank you so very very much!

How strange, I was thinking about this sort of thing today myself . . . guess it was in the atmosphere.

I often pray for guidance, and also the ability to hear what I’m being told. It’s hard.

I really liked Don’s note:
