Desperate For Communication (1 of 7)
Series: Desperate Households

Song of Solomon 1:1-2
This morning I want to continue in a series entitled Desperate Households and today's message is entitled Desperate For Communication. And that means that none of us have it right, we all need to grow. Turn to the Song of Solomon chapter 1. We are going to read verses 1 and 2, then keep your Bible open in Solomon because we are going to be looking at some other verses.

My wife was there with the children, I had not written much for two months and I was unprepared for her greeting. Why did you come back? she said. There was no longer a smile in her eyes. Oh, God, I thought, I have made the most terrible mistake in my life. Don't look so surprised, she said, we gave you up. We decided you were never coming back. I replied, but it was only a little delay. I wrote you April 1st. No you wrote once saying you weren't coming home. We were building valves, aortic heart valves, I answered. No, you were building a fa ...
