HIJACK

 I was listening to this girl talk. She was just talking. It was obvious that everyone around her was annoyed with her rambling because she kept interjecting her nonsense into other conversations. She lacked eye contact but she had extreme hand motions and facial reactions that almost seemed like what she had to say would be interesting but, no. While the present company was discussing the new construction on the road close by she was interjecting her concerns about a film left behind on her teeth. WOW! How can you not know how to communicate better than that. I watched the train wreck in silence. Over and over people would roll from conversation to conversation and she would just blurt out random facts that weren’t directed to anyone or about anything on the topic at hand. The basis of every solid foundation is communication. How can you learn to bond with others if you never learn when to listen, and when to talk and even past that what’s important to talk about. Day after day I talk to the live of my life. I tell him there’s a school program coming up, I ask him to pic up the pictures sent to Walgreen, I talk about upcoming events. Though this is fine how often do I talk about how grateful I am for him, or let him know what I need emotionally? Then I realized how often I treat my prayer life so nonchalantly. I talk, I ramble, I ask, too often I ramble. So I decided to analyze the Lords Prayer and teach myself how to stop my communication with God from being hijacked.
