Quality of Communication

A friend of mine posted the following on Facebook:

The "Quality" of my life is based on the "Quality" of my communication...

If I could shout this from the mountain tops I would! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!

I am a true believer of communication. I communicate... a lot. I want to hear what you have to say. I want to say things to you. I want to talk about things and most importantly I want our relationship to progress. For me and you to get anywhere, we need to communicate.

Wikipedia says this about communication:


Communication (from Latin "communis", meaning to share) is the activity of conveying information through the exchange of thoughts, messages, or information, as by speech, visuals, signals, writing, or behavior. Communication requires a sender, a message, and a recipient, although the receiver need not be present or aware of the sender's intent to communicate at the time of communication; thus communication can occur across vast distances in time and space. Communication requires that the communicating parties share an area of communicative commonality. The communication process is complete once the receiver has understood the message of the sender.

Yep. And lately I'm just not feeling like people are communicating with me... or with each other. And when that happens, people (me included) make up our own conclusions in our heads. And there's lots of crazy stuff happening in my head so you shouldn't want to add more crazy to it. :)

So what I wish to communicate with you today is that if we all just communicated, not just talked, we would be better. My life would be better, your life would be better... the world might even be better.

This week has been rough. I'd like to communicate that with you. It's been rough and I'm ok. I leaned on Him and I communicated with Him. I heard Him. I felt Him. I love Him.
