Thank God for Differences

* My friend Sarah Hightower just called to tell me how she and a friend are using Billy's book as a weekly study and report some personal discoveries. The only reason for this book is to lead others to more understanding of God in their lives. I was so blessed by my sweet friend taking the time to call me and tell me this news while she continues to take care of her wonderful husband who is attended to by hospice in their home. I love you Wayne and Sarah

Back to the story: Some people identify themselves as introverts and some extraverts. They use a definition that measures an introvert as a quiet person who prefers to be alone and an extravert as an outgoing, talkative person who always wants to be with people. Billy loved hitting golf balls at a range for hours and many individual projects. I intrepreted this as not wanting to be with me. My constant complaints were, "You don't want to talk to me, you must not love me. Later, I learned that an introvert ( Billy) could get energized by these alone activities. I was always energized by sharing and being with friends.(extravert) When we learned to listen to each other, we learned to love and compromise with these differences. We both changed. I became more disciplined and he began to share his feelings. Do you see how we needed both the intro and the extra?
