A week ago Monday afternoon I started having some vision problems. Reading was a chore to say the least, but next night my vision had improved and I thought I had figured out a way to read. I had a lamp pulled down on my book and I had my glasses on. I was trying to keep the book open and hold the magnifying glass just right so I could focus on more than one or two words at a time. About the time I had just the right distant from the magnifying glass to the book I would blink and have to start again. After what seemed like a very long time I had read a page and a half. Very frustrating! By Wednesday night I could stack two pair of glass and read large print. It was Friday before my vision was normal. Thank you Lord!!
In my frustration I thought of a story Jim Stovall tells about an encounter he had with a deaf man. He titled it Blind Man meets Deaf Man. You will get a kick out of it. I know I have reacted the same way when I spoken to someone who doesn't speak english. I think it is safe to say if someone does not understand you in a normal tone of voice, I am sure they are not going to understand you in a slower and louder tone.
Listen to Jim's story. I have the link below, copy and paste if it doesn’t work. I hope you enjoy it.
Have a great week.
