I just ran across this blogpost by a seminary student in St. Louis: 20 Qualities of Good Listeners. I’ve been coming back to James 1:19 over and over…and looking for some really worthwhile reading to help me learn me to listen well…click on the 20 Qualities link to hear what Gavin Ortlund has to say. I have a feeling I’ll be revisiting his post and really turning it over and over to get the most out of it.

Mari,
Did you know, that by rearranging the letters of listen, it spells SILENT?
Coincidence? No Way!
Hi chiro1111 =) I hear you…check out #4 & #17…it made me think about people I know who are good listeners…they know when to be silent…and when to speak in order to draw me out…what an art! great to hear from you!
