Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

It’s GREAT to “see” you yorkie.
Had a very busy day today so I’m late responding to Amy’s Place.
Prayers continue for you.

Invite Questions
February 18, 2012

When I teach, I sometimes use the motto “Question Authority” to get the attention of my students. I am not inviting them to challenge my authority; I am encouraging them to ask me questions. Some education experts say that more learning takes place when teachers answer questions than when they impart information. By nature, we all place a higher value on what we want to know than on what someone wants to tell us.

There is, of course, a place for both types of teaching, but encouraging questions is one of the first that is found in Scripture. Even before the Israelites left Egypt, the Lord instructed Moses to institute a practice that would invite questions. The Passover celebration would serve two purposes: It would remind the adults of God’s deliverance, and it would cause their children to ask about it (Ex. 12:26).

“Why” can be an annoying question, but it can also be a wonderful opportunity to give a reason for our faith (1 Peter 3:15). Instead of being impatient when others ask questions, we can be thankful they have a heart and mind open to learning. Questions give us the opportunity to answer lovingly and carefully, knowing that our words may have eternal consequences.

Lord, may I be approachable and open to listening
to others’ questions. May I not feel threatened but
instead have confidence that You will give me wisdom
to know how to reply or where to find an answer. Amen.

Honest questions can lead to faith-building answers.

Read: Exodus 12:1-13

Always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you. —1 Peter 3:15

Bible in a year:
Deuteronomy 7-9

Aw, thanks for all the hugs, Quix!

My son lives in the Los Angeles area, and has two daughters (13 and 11) and a lovely wife. He won’t allow me to tell his age - but I will say this, (repeating what George Hamitlon’s Mother said on one of the morning shows, when asked how old she was.) She started to tell, but the moderator stopped her, and apologized for asking such a rude question on live TV. Mrs. Hamilton said something like this: “It’s not rude, my dear! You know, it’s impossible to LIE about your age, when your son needs a face lift!” LOL!

[yorkie]

I’ve been offline for so long, DD! Would it be possible for you to “Ketch me up”?

(P.S. It’s “GREAT to “See” YOU, too!)

[yorkie]

To Conor and Sir Winston

It's Great to SEE you, too!
