The mystery has been solved as to why a TV reporter lapsed into gibberish during a live report outside the Grammys last Sunday night. Serene Branson’s behavior caused speculation that she suffered a stroke. She underwent a brain scan and blood work and doctors discovered that the culprit was a type of migraine headache that can mimic some of the symptoms of a stroke.
Serene Branson had an excuse and a reason to make no sense when talking on live national television. But can’t any one of us be accused of talking gibberish at any given moment of the day? Does what comes out of our mouths always make sense? Do we babble on and on when it might make a little more sense to listen as much as we talk?
I did a memorial service this week for a member of our church. The spouse wanted a simple and short service and I obliged. After it was all said and done, I was concerned that the widow would think that I short changed her and her husband’s memory. But she told me that the service was perfect, that the brevity of it was just what she wanted. So I was relieved and learned a little that day.
Conversation is important. Communication can be the key in any successful relationship. But listening is as essential as talking. Going on and on about a topic is just not good. I believe that you should say what you came to say and sit down. I am sitting down now.
