Are we leaving Los Angeles? | Ep. 1

[@cherylsalka4185]

It's valid that we can't retire here, we are moving because CA decided we can't buy small gas engines. Having our business as gardeners that rely on mowers, blowers, etc we are leaving. Yes, they sell battery equipment. Whole other debate on that. Of course it's fabulous here, but not everyone can change careers at retirement age. Having a home paid off is a smart move for us. It's easy to say you dont know why people leave if you can have an affordable life and it all works for you.

[@HevanCathey]

I remember watching the show when y'all stayed in the Cornish house. I have been following you guys for years and love how all of you have such an amazing heart for Christ, it has always encouraged me!

[@joycook3093]

I so enjoyed this podcast! Glad you have started up again! My husband and I are both close to 80 years old and have decided to move from Washington State to Arizona for health reasons. We have done some serious decluttering because it's expensive to move things that can be replaced after we arrive at the end of our move. Mostly we are moving sentimental items. One of the things that make decisions easier is to remember that we won't be taking anything to Heaven with us except people. Everything else is just "stuff". Prayers for rapid remodel of the kitchen and that the LORD fills your new home with love and peace.

I personally say yes listening to an audiobook counts as reading it! As someone who is dyslexic this is one of the primary ways I read books. Growing up (and still sometimes today) I would listen to books on tape/audiobooks and reading along with the actual book while listening. By reading this way I am able to process and understand what I’m reading.

[@jenniferarnwine7698]

ELA teacher/dyslexia etc. YES! I am so glad you asked that questions. I always tell my students they can read with their eyes, ears, or finger (braille). We would not tell blind people they were not reading.

[@merklingassoc]

Absolutely listening to a book counts as reading it. I've always been an avid book reader, however, now that I'm a senior it hurts my eyes to read, so I listen. In truth it's like being a kid again and having your parents read to you. I love it.

[@lbjsweetp]

I have a traumatic brain injury and can no longer read books and comprehend them, but I can listen to a book on audio. So I sure am thankful for audible and libraries like that.

[@merklingassoc]

@@lbjsweetp Yes, my world would be in black and white without the adventures books take me on. I'm so sorry to hear about your injury. But, so happy you've got tons of great books to listen to. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@heathergoodin7440]

I love reading, but I now have an eye condition that limits how much I can use them. So I embrace audiobooks. Yes, audiobooks count. I am very grateful for that option so I can continue this hobby.

[@deannabrightwell3710]

I have a dyslexic son. He’s 12 now and can read but it’s sometimes a slow process depending on the content. The mechanics of reading can be super difficult for someone that has a focusing issue. His brain moves so fast so visual reading can be frustrating. Listening to a book also transports him into the book world and his mind enjoys it as much as those who always sight read their books. Open your mind to considering reading an experience for your brain, not just an exercise for your eyes. Reading in whatever form works is beautiful ❤

I completely understand. I have dyslexia. My husband and both of our children are on the Autism spectrum.

[@kristinhinton5789]

Yes listening to a book is reading a book. I used to not think so, but then I realized that leaves out anyone with learning disabilities, visual imparement/blindness, and auditory processing issues, among other things. They are still getting the info, and they get to learn and explore the world in a way they wouldn't be able /would be harder to do otherwise. And for people who can read a book with no impairment or disabilities to make that harder, they still should be able to learn and get the info when life is busy and you need to multitasking or relax and take a break.

[@joyce6235]

I love that your family still shares. I have watched you grow up. I love the family life. I am getting ready to ready your book "Becoming Free Indeed".

[@MainlineFlippers]

My son is severely dyslexic. He’s only 10, but he struggles so bad with reading. My husband’s uncle has PCA (Benson’s syndrome) and he has lost his ability to read. Listening is a huge tool for them and how they read a good portion of them time. What if you lost your vision? Would you count it as reading then? I 💯 think that audiobooks are reading and are such a blessing that these groups of people didn’t have even a generation ago. Some people don’t do well listening or are unable to hear, so those people should read the actually book. Whichever way you absorb it better…so listening absolutely counts as reading.

[@elizabethmurphy9666]

The same process is happening in your brain whether it’s physical or audio books so either counts!

Well reading a book is reading it. Listening to a book is listening to it. Its just 2 different forms of consuming the information. Edit: I cant say I read a book when it wasnt me actually reading it. If somone is reading to me, Im just listening, not reading. When parents read books to children, they cant say, "I read the book" no, they listened to someone reading to them. Congratulations on your move!🎊

It’s enjoyable because it’s read by the people that it’s about, so that’s awesome and yes, it is the same

[@sdc1225]

I love audiobooks especially when I drive back and forth to LA from Conway, AR. That’s where I discovered “Becoming Free Indeed” and listened on one day of the dative, then followed up with “The Hope We Hold” the next day. I also listen to the Bible and do my daily readings sometimes by audiobook, and sometimes I read along the Bible while the audiobook reads it to me. I’m getting the content. I learned later that I was driving home to Arkansas from LA, listening to your books while you were in Arkansas for Jana’s wedding. The books are wonderful and God has used your experiences to speak to me.

[@ronisuemunster8813]

I remember when her sister's came out and I believe her brother or a few of them helped you move and the girls helped you decorate. I believe that is where his books ended up in a closet. I see Jana coming out and possibly helping. She is so talented. I do have to mention. Ì am so PROUD of Felicity running the 5k. Jinger, you did an amazing also.
