Body Building: Strive to Do What’s Good for Others

1250) In my current teaching job, I have been assigned recess duty. I rarely mind it, even when it’s bitterly cold here in Maine. When I’m not actively taking care of some tween calamity, I like to watch the kids play. Lately, one of their favorite games is tag. As you know, one person is

Body Building: Don’t Pay Back Wrongs

1249) My grandfather was an amazing man. He had a great sense of humor and I believe I inherited his storytelling ability. I can remember one time when we were together on my birthday, I opened a card that produced a five-dollar bill. I was so excited; five dollars seemed like so much money, but

Body Building: Be Patient with Everyone

1248) In the world of psychology, there is debate about whether our feelings result from our thinking or our thinking is a result of our feelings. There is good evidence for both schools of thought. My first reaction is, I can’t help what I’m feeling and as the studies have shown, there is a lot

Body Building: Help the Weak

1247) Many years ago, I went to a Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Museum at Prince Edward Island. I found it very interesting. One exhibit displayed items that have been found in the bellies of whales. There was a full-size anchor from a ship. Amazing! As I think about the anchor I saw, I reflect

Body Building: Encourage the Disheartened

1246) For the last several months, I have been working on redefining myself and one of these areas of improvement is to increase my courage to be vulnerable. Why, you may ask? Some feel we have turned into a society that loves to air their dirty laundry, revealing too much information that may be best

Body Building: Avoid Unruliness

1245) Have you ever direly needed a lavatory just to get there and see the sign, “Out of Order”? It’s happened to me from time to time and, in a practical application, something being broken down can cause hardship. The way this can be avoided is to make sure there is regular maintenance, but how

Body Building: Cultivating Peace

1244) 1 Thessalonians 5:13 tells us in our English Bibles to “live in peace” but the Greek word for peace here: eiréneuó instructs us to cultivate peace. Let’s think about that. If you’re cultivating soil, you are preparing it to produce the best fruit. You spend time working the soil, adding in nutrients that are

Body Building: Cooperation

1243) Another spiritual exercise we can build into our workout routine is found in 1 Thessalonians 5:13. Paul tells us here to have a “high regard” for those who lead us spiritually. I wasn’t sure exactly what “high regard” meant, so I dug a little further into the Greek use of this word. The word

Body Building: Acknowledgment

1242) Being the first of the year, the New Year’s Resolutions’ industry is at its busiest. So many of us are focused on making better choices for our bodies, but I think it’s easy to forget that we should also be concerned with building up our souls and even the body of the church, as

Can I have a Word?

1241) If I take a moment and think about things people have said to me that I distinctly remember, it would be a mixed bag of good and bad things. I can clearly remember a girl saying to me in the 8th grade that I sucked. I felt so bad hearing this. On the other
