James 1:19-25ย Easy-to-Read Version

Listening and Obeying

My dear brothers and sisters, always be more willing to listen than to speak. Keep control of your anger. Anger does not help you live the way God wants. So get rid of everything evil in your livesโ€”every kind of wrong you do. Be humble and accept Godโ€™s teaching that is planted in your hearts. This teaching can save you.

Do what Godโ€™s teaching says; donโ€™t just listen and do nothing. When you only sit and listen, you are fooling yourselves. Hearing Godโ€™s teaching and doing nothing is like looking at your face in the mirror and doing nothing about what you saw. You go away and immediately forget how bad you looked. But when you look into Godโ€™s perfect law that sets people free, pay attention to it. If you do what it says, you will have Godโ€™s blessing. Never just listen to his teaching and forget what you heard.

Expanding The Love In My Words

A screenshot of a interview i'm working on in Logic Pro, with the Channel EQ & Expander plugin's visible

Above is a shcreenshot of an interview iโ€™m working on using Logic Pro for Sarahโ€™s audio version of her RNIB magazine. Iโ€™ve just found a plugin called โ€œExpanderโ€ which iโ€™ve never used before and it can help clean up the noise, hissing or humming behind the voice etcโ€ฆ.

Iโ€™m sat here while using this great tool thinking โ€œWouldnโ€™t it be fantastic if it was as easy as using a few dials & sliders to be able to clean up my speech and leave no bad noise behind my words!ย 

Ephesians 4:29ย The Voice

Donโ€™t let even one rotten word seep out of your mouths. Instead, offer only fresh words that build others up when they need it most. That way your good words will communicate grace to those who hear them.
