“What we have here is a failure to communicate.” Cool Hand Luke (the movie)

“We are not communicating.” My wife and I say this frequently and usually with frustration. A good bit of the time it is simply because one of us is doing something and is distracted when the other is speaking. Good communication requires that we pay good attention. It is important to speak clearly and just as important to listen well. It helps when we give people our full attention when we listen to them, and patiently make sure we have it when we talk. This works for prayer as well.
