Question+Answer

A student asked me a question today.

I promptly answered his question while standing right beside him.

He quickly raised his hand and asked the same question.

I explained that I had already answered that question.

"I heard you talking, but I forgot to listen to the answer."

Awesome. I think that's how it goes for my teaching all around.

"I heard her talking, but I forgot to listen."

But what a pretty lesson about our human condition - we so often ask God a question, and forget to listen to the answer, even though He stands right beside us. Thanks for sharing this story. Love, love, love you.

Sounds like a Sunday School class...when after you read a scripture and are asked to answer a question about it or explain it. i always have to re-read it!
