One of the lessons for the past Sunday was on the Tower of Babel. The story in Genesis is about why there are so many languages. Babel in Hebrew means confusion.

Communication when people speak different languages is very difficult if not impossible. But even communication between people who speak the same language can be difficult. Some keys to effective communication: listen, be patient, ask questions to understand and speak clearly.

We continued the conversation on various topics at Starbucks. Illustrating the difficulty of communication, one of us went to a different Starbucks. (We typically go to Starbucks off Gaskins; Gayton Crossing).

Share.
