What's that? Jesse and Prospector are trapped in the old abandoned mine?

We have two golden retrievers at my house that are loved and very well trained. So much so, that when they bark, we all know they need something urgently. This morning, my husband and I were enjoying our morning cup of Land of 1000 Hills coffee when one of our dogs barked several times by the door. Immediately my husband says; "What's that? Jesse and Prospector are trapped in the old abandoned mine and Prospector just lit a stick of dynamite thinking it was a candle and now they're about to be blown to smithereens?" I could not stop laughing! I just figured she needed to go outside, two totally different interpretations!

I know you have seen this happen in ministry, especially with vision! I have found these things to be helpful in communicating clear vision;

• Constantly casting vision using the same language. Repetition is a good thing! It keeps all leaders on the same page. For example, if your vision is to "Love God. Love Kids." then that is what you say. Saying anything else muddy's up the water.
• Owning the vision is another huge step in clear communication. Always saying we and us instead of them or they. This says loud and clear that you personally support the vision.

These are just two things that help me, how do you avoid misinterpretation as you cast vision?
