Get Dressed: Patience

1220) The older I get, the harder it is to wear the garment of patience. From what I have observed, this seems to be true with most people. Because of this, I have to ask myself why? Perhaps we just tire quickly so when people do annoying things, it’s hard to bite your tongue and

Get Dressed: Gentleness

1219) Grocery shopping isn’t one of my favorite activities. I don’t really mind the opportunity of buying something that I would love to enjoy eating; it’s the number of times I actually move every item in my cart. Let’s think about that. First, you move the item from the shelf to your cart. Then you

Get Dressed: Humility

1218) Social media has made humility an expensive garment. Most of our posts usually display our best selves and when they don’t, it’s easy to weave in some threads of victimhood. Humility is a superpower that isn’t tapped into enough. Paul tells us to put on the clothing of humility in Colossians 3:12-14.. This means

Get Dressed: Kindness

1217) We often tell children to be kind to one another. Have you ever stopped to evaluate if we are putting on the garment of kindness? In some ways, being kind is easy. An empathetic look or nod of the head or a gently spoken word communicates kindness. Other garments of kindness are not so

Get Dressed: Compassion

1216) When the seasons change in Maine, I spend a morning moving my clothes from one season and replacing those for the upcoming one. Winter and summer here are dominant seasons (though those of you in warmer climates won’t think our summers are “real” ones). The fall and spring seasons often just meld into them.

Feeding the Fire

1215) Several years ago, when I was living in North Carolina, my husband and I had just turned off the light at bedtime and as my head hit the pillow, I head a loud boom! Both of us sat up straight, unsure of what happened. I got up and looked out the window. I immediately

Be an Investigator

1214) Through the years, I have enjoyed reading books and watching TV shows that feature investigations. I find it interesting to follow the individual who is searching for clues, interviewing suspects and drawing conclusions based upon what they find. It’s good that I enjoy this because Paul urges us to be investigators in Colossians 3:1.

What Seems and What Is

1213) Things are not always as they seem. Madeleine L’Engle said it best in her book, A Wrinkle in Time. The conversation goes: “We do not understand what this means to see.” ‘Well, it’s what things look like,’ Meg said helplessly. “We do not know what things look like, as you say,” the beast said.

Choosing Captivity

1212) I had the privilege of hearing a gentleman speak several years ago; he was a survivor of Auschwitz. I took a group of 7th graders to hear him and was not prepared for what I heard. He spoke with pride of his Jewish heritage, but also of the atrocities of being held captive in

Roots

1211) Many years ago, at the high school where I taught, I heard of a mistake that had many consequences in the days and weeks to come. Evidently, someone was supposed to put fertilizer on the football field (or some such thing) and, instead, they put Roundup on it. As you can guess, Roundup got
