Man I stink at this. I really stink at this. Why is it so hard for me to pay attention and remember a name when I’m introduced to somebody? It’s like my mind turns off and then I don’t even have a chance.

So sometimes I quickly follow up with, “What’s your name again?” aka “Hey! I’m trying!” That’s good, right? But then, I forget again. I still stink.

Selective hearing. I watched this show about selective hearing. I can’t remember what it was. I think it was Everybody Loves Raymond, which is probably the closest thing to reality on television. They say a lot of men, (Frank or Raymond) only listen to what they want to listen to. They may hear something, however, if it’s not in their best interest to listen, they tune that person out.

Sometimes we get the feeling our work is in vain.
Seeds we’ve sown. And yet harvest no gain.

So we wonder – and wonder, and wonder,
About the surface – and what’s going on up under.

If we could see. If we could dig up the dirt and just see.
I want to be shown that what I’ve sown – will be.
I just want to know that it’s me.
But that’s faith.
When you can’t touch it – can you believe?

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. – Ecclesiastes 3:1
