Jesus said in John 8:28-29 "...I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me. 29 The one who sent me is ...read more

My father has some hearing difficulty, but his greatest hearing difficulty is convenient hearing and not paying attention to what is being said around him. That can be said of many of us.
