Have you ever been touched by someone who can taking the seemingly complex things of life and simplify them to a point of extreme clarity? What a gift that is to have that ability.
Over the past two evenings I have been blessed to listen to such a speaker, Dr. Spencer Furby of Kennett, MO. He has simply, yet dynamically imparted two powerful messages to those who were present at the Center Hill Church of Christ youth rally, Renew. The theme for this year's event has been, "Renewing the Great Commission", and his messages have been right on target. Each message has challenged us to look around for signs, and to look within us to recognize the path we are on and the destination of that path.
Apart from the intended lessons of scripture, the discerning ear also has learned the beauty of this communication style. In a world fraught with legalese, jargon, and nonsensical forms of communicating that often bluster on not for the benefit of the reader/listener, but for the pride and ego of the writer/speaker, it is refreshing to encounter someone like Spencer.
This week I intend to practice this skill as I journey life's paths. Would you join me in a commitment to simplicity in our communications? This is another way for each of us to Do Well.
