"Anyone can listen. All you have to do is stop talking.

But to be a good listener, you have to stop talking and be interested.

Genuine curiosity is the precursor to understanding, and a good listener helps the other person feel understood."

Friday Favourite this week is Bruce Cockburn's song Rouler Sa Bosse. A lyric-less song to remind us that our thanks if often best expressed through our actions than our words. Find a link to the song and a bit more of my thoughts at the link below.

“Rich was not a performer so much as a fellow pilgrim, accessible and real and Indiana-clay earthy. He spoke the common language of a sinner-and-saint ragamuffin, a unique place from which to serve as what Amy Grant called, “the uneasy conscience of Christian music.””

Today on the blog, Kevin Burrell honors the 25th anniversary of Rich Mullins’ passing. Kevin recalls how Rich’s creational attentiveness stood as a signpost to a greater hope.

This week’s Friday Favourite continues the Rich Mullins theme for Sept. There is an honesty that laments bring to the shared experience of humanity. https://t.co/1je5LDqEYB

Friday Favourite - Another of Rich Mullins tunes which aptly illustrates the priority of action as proof of conviction https://t.co/GByUC0YU34

Friday Favourite - For the month of September I'll be posting favourite Rich Mullins songs. It has been 25 years since his sudden death. His life and songs express an authentic pursuit of faith. This week the song is "Creed". https://t.co/DMJWC1eQg7

Friday Favourite- Glenn Kaiser Tapestry https://t.co/QZkiRUwpIo via @YouTube. 28 years ago I sang this song to the love of my life. We’re still in the process of creating a masterpiece.

All these and other factors combined, if the circumstances are right, can teach and can lead to rebirth.” - Anne Morrow Lindbergh 2/2

[Patrick Friesen @patrickfriesen]

“I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches. If suffering alone taught, all the world would be wise, since everyone suffers. To suffering must be added mourning, understanding, patience, love, openness and the willingness to remain vulnerable. 1/2

@Bell_MTSHelps How about unpinning your Rogers shame tweet at the top of your feed. Add ETA would be helpful.
