In much of our public discourse lately there has been a lot of prattling on various talking points and fairly little attentive dialogue.  I was in a discussion group the other day when one of the participants felt compelled to pontificate on every topic which arose. I was about to break in to offer my own unsolicited opinions when it occured to me that I am that guy sometimes. Don't be that guy or that gal! “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble!” (James 4:6). [Yes, I realize the delicious irony of offering an opinion that we should be humble and respectful about offering opinions.]
