COMMUNICATIONS

COMMUNICATIONS Sunday, September 01, 2019 By Rev. Dr. Larry Delano Coleman Communicating is more than speaking. It is more than writing or signaling. Babies communicate by smiling, laughing, crying, gesturing, eye contact. Fetuses communicate by kicking or by plaguing their mothers in myriad other ways. Animals communicate. Plants communicate. Microbial life communicates. Quantum physicists say that atoms, light years apart, precisely communicate. Doubtless, stars, planets, meteors, asteroids, comets also communicate. What then is the nature of these communications that are expressed, ideated, exchanged, by and between so many persons, places, and things, so effectually? Are these too mere “random chance” that elephants communicate sub-sonically for miles? Are whales “naturally selected” which communicate oceans apart? If it is true that “a little bird told me;” then, who or what, told the little bird? What language do we think in? or dream in ? Pray to God in when we moan? How is it our thoughts, our ideas, well-up? And from whence do they arise? Thoughts, too, are communications; they are inmost communications from God. #30
