Ira goes in for his follow-up surgery tomorrow, Wednesday. The procedure will be at 10 a.m. We feel a bit more confident this time around as we know what to expect. The doc will make sure the airway recovered from the last surgery and will replace Ira’s trach with a smaller one. They will keep him overnight to see how he makes the adjustment to the new trach.

One of the neglected spiritual practices within Christianity is the practice of listening. It’s ignored for a couple of reasons. One, we live in a world that has forgotten how to listen. We’re so inept at listening that people write books about it like The Lost Art of Listening. Two, we’re not sure how the discipline of listening works. Is it praying and then sitting in silence? Is it reading the Bible and then chanting over and over again a specific verse? How exactly is the disciple of listening enacted?
Some of you have it figured out. Some of you have stumbled upon it before. The question that I have for those of you who have successfully practiced the disciple of listening is this: How will you know when you are practicing the discipline of listening?
