Is anyone listening? It is a question that often echoes in my head. God created one mouth and two ears on people, which I assume means we should spend twice as much time listening as we do talking. Unfortunately, even when we are not talking, many times we are not listening either. How many times have you formulated what you were going to say to someone as they were talking and waited with baited breath for them to finish so that you could put in your two cents? If I had two cents for every time I have done that I would be very wealthy.

We are often asked, “Why should I become a member of the Spencer County FFA chapter?”

Do you ever watch America’s Funniest Home Videos? We watch it a lot because it is funny, lighthearted, and our granddaughter laughs her head off!

Anyway, every once in a while they will show someone holding a snake, a mouse, or even a squirrel. That in itself is not funny, but when that animal starts to climb into someone’s shirt, or up his or her pant leg, it can get hilarious. Usually the people jump and scream and call out for help. Lets face it; it can be uncomfortable to have something crawling around inside your clothes.

Ezekiel 3:17-21 Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me. When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
