Learning to Listen

 What would happen if a person decided to stop talking for a week and really listen?  What would they learn, experience, understand in a new way?  My one week adventure in listening starts today.  Don't have any expectations just a question, "How will learning to listen change me?"  Here is how I am doing it.  Consciously making as few statements as possible turning statements I would have said into questions to ask.  I want to listen to my own heart, "what am I feeling and why?".  I want to listen to God's heart, "What is He saying and why?".  I want to listen to my family, "what are they experiencing and why?"  I want to listen to nature, "what is it teaching me about God and life and what does that mean?"  I want to listen to people, "what are you really wanting someone to hear?"  I'll keep you posted on an ADD pastor's journey for understanding.
