The subject of communication has been on my mind quite a bit lately.  From many different areas of my life recently, the importance of communication continues to be brought to my attention.  When there is a lack of communication, what happens?  Assumption.  People will come to their own conclusion of a situation when they do not receive the expected communication.

Today I had a proud parent moment... I was going through my son's school folder to clean it out before he went off to his last day of 2nd grade.  There were many papers that they had been done in class... graded spelling tests, etc.  The one that stuck out however had a title at the top "Portrait of a Hero".  The instructions were to write the name of your hero, draw his/her picture, then answer some questions about the hero.  Johnathan, my 8-year old son, filled in the hero name... "Jesus".  He drew the portrait picture of Jesus with the classic white robe, purple sash and arms outstretched.  Then he filled in the blanks as follows...

I had a thought today and decided to share it.  Not that having a thought was a unique situation, but anyway... I have a number of friends that have tattooes.  Some have a couple that are small and mostly hidden... some have many and in so many places that it is impossible to hide them all (no, I'm not talking about Kelly).  I've always thought it was very cool how these friends have a story for their tattooes and they often times use those stories to share the Gospel with other people.  The tattooes give them an opportunity to talk with people as they are asked about the tattoo, what it means, why did they get it, etc.
