One of the funny commercials during Super Bowl was by Chevy & drove home the thought that you need to have a clear message when trying to convey a point! Check it out:

Way too much like my house since the ears are on the blitz!
Many people watched puzzled as a news reporter in LA did a live broadcast that was several seconds of rambling jibberish. It has taken off in a viral fury on the net:

It seems the reporter was having some neurological problems & is now undergoing tests to determine what caused a, normally poised & articulate, reporter to jabber incoherently. Her message was far from clear!
While I might be talkative & wired up, I hope I make some sense in what I share! My prayer is that I communicate clearly God’s love.
I’ve shared some of the difficult journey this past year has brought. Last summer both of my eardrums blew. After several procedures,this week I await to see if a newly implanted eardrum works. It’s made music, singing, running sound, & pretty much ALL communication a bit difficult. It has driven home the importance of hearing God & of clearly communicating His love. This week people celebrated love on Valentine’s Day. Unfortunately, many don’t realize the greatest love ever demonstrated was found in Jesus. They either haven’t heard or didn’t listen. The message was just not clear.
When Jesus walked the earth He shared, repeatedly, the importance of having ‘ears to hear.’ Not enough just to listen, the message needs to be clear, and you need to HEAR!
For the hearts of these people are hardened, and their ears cannot hear, and they have closed their eyes—so their eyes cannot see, and their ears cannot hear, and their hearts cannot understand, and they cannot turn to me and let me heal them. ’“But blessed are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear. I tell you the truth, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see, but they didn’t see it. And they longed to hear what you hear, but they didn’t hear it. Matthew 13:15-17 NLT
I pray we hear & understand the message God is sending: He loves us & longs for a relationship with us. He’s articulated it for centuries & the message is clear, we just have to have ears to listen!
