Tattoos Considered

1287) Getting tattoos these days is common. I’ve seen many of these permanent pictures: animals, flowers, names and more. The thing I’ve always pondered is what do you do if you get someone’s name tattooed on you and then you both part ways, especially in embitterment? I know you can have the ink removed (which

Genuineness

Genuineness 1286) When I taught high school Bible, we had a weekly competition called, “Bible Rivals”. This would be what some of us old-timers called “Sword Drills” when a Bible reference is called out and you try to find it in the Bible as fast as you can. Whoever found the verse first would win

The 10 Year Rule

1285) Anyone who has spent any time with kids knows how frustrating their arguments with each other are. Having a classroom full of tweens, I have my fill of it each day. Sometimes I sit at my desk and just shake my head listening to some things they bicker over. I wish I could say

Cause & Effect: Faithless

1284) As a child, the word faith bothered me. In my young mind, faith was equated with a feeling of assurance. If all my feelings for that moment were positive, then I had faith; if not, I didn’t. I did not understand that faith is a choice, not a feeling. Because faith is a choice,

Cause & Effect: Disowning

1283) I have been working on the prequel to my novel, The Bottle House. It will reveal the backstory of the beloved Chaplain Miller. Though I have written for years, mostly non-fiction, I have enjoyed writing fiction with a purpose. I am not one who believes there is anything wrong with reading for pleasure, but

Cause & Effect: Endurance

1283) “Pick your battles” is a phrase I hear a lot in my teaching job. It’s because there is wisdom in knowing when to take a stand (or hold a kid to something that is in his or her best interests) and when to let something go. 2 Timothy 2:11-13 tells us of another cause

Cause & Effect: Death

1282) My husband talks about death regularly. He doesn’t do this because he’s morbid, but he knows unless the Lord returns, we will all die and he’s acknowledging this. For me, death scares me. It isn’t because I don’t know that I will be with the Lord, it’s because the next life isn’t fully “known”

No Chains

1281) Have you ever considered that it’s really hard to identify the “good guys” these days? Just watch the news and you’ll see an array of people doing various things that make them “good” in the eyes of the media and yet, some of these “good” things may not actually be good. If you are

Adultery, Murder and Grace

1280) I have set a goal in this new year to study and understand grace a little more. As is true with all things we ponder deeply, you become aware of examples of the subject you are researching that you may have not noticed before. For example, if you spend much of your time thinking

Is the Power Out?

1279) Many years ago, when we lived in North Carolina, we had a significant ice storm and we were without power for a week. Our house had no insulation in the walls and our only source of heat was a fireplace, That week the temperatures were in the single digits and we experienced being so
