About 10 years ago, I had one of those moments that teach a lesson that lasts a lifetime. I was single and attended a church with lots of other singles. Three young ladies were walking towards me, and in a joking way, I said, “Uh, oh. Here comes trouble.” It wasn’t a damaging statement, nor was it abusive. But that’s not the point. The point was that I had an opportunity to lift someone else up, and I didn’t. Communication is a powerful process. We have the power to communicate…to destroy and degrade those around us, or to build and elevate human potential and the human spirit.
