For one reason or another I have almost always found myself in a position to counsel others with their problems. I'm not entirely sure why this is as I don't believe I am particularly qualified for advising those around me on every topic and problem known to mankind, but for whatever reason I get lots of calls - calls from friends, neighbors, people from church, and even family members lately. What is the draw? Maybe I am a good listener. Maybe I am a straight shooter or tell it like it is. Maybe I am able to find hope and optimism when the horizon looks dismal. I don't really mind talking others through their problems. I like to help people.... but sometimes it would be nice to have someone to talk to too. :(
