Right now, I'm trying to get all my thoughts that are in my brain into your brain or your brain, whoever's listening to this. But I have to use words. I can only get so many words out in so much time. You're thinking other thoughts a lot faster than you can hear my words. There's all kind of other noise and distractions. So this is a very inefficient form of communication.

I remember when I was a brand new believer, what helped me start to understand this is I was praying one day, and I was praying for friends and other things, I was praying, and I had this thought, call Allison. Allison's my younger sister. And I was like, I'm not gonna call Allison, and I kept praying. Again, and it wasn't just a thought.

It was like a thought and a feeling like I'm supposed to call Allison. And I was like, Allison's at school. She's not going to answer the phone. Yeah, I'm not going to call Allison.

And I thought, well, okay, look, it's not gonna cost me anything. I'll just do it. I call her. She'd skipped school. She was severely depressed. She'd been bullied and she was home.
