How Does God Feel About Me?

1128) I was watching a Tedx Talk the other day about how our brains handle suffering presented by Dr. Amit Sood from the Mayo Clinic. Among other things that were fascinating, he spoke about, “hedonic adaptation” which means that after positive or negative events, we react to them but then return to more stable emotions.

Is God Good?

1127) Trying to understand the essence of God is impossible. Think about this. God says he is all-powerful, all-knowing, everywhere at once, and has always existed. These things are just a tiny aspect of who God is. No wonder we humans have a hard time comprehending him. There are some things we can understand about

Sunsets are Beautiful

1126) Sunsets are one of my favorite things to see. Because our upstairs bedroom faces west and has two huge windows, summers in Maine, which has a late sunset, allow me to view this spectacular scene in bed. There have been times as I lie there when I picture Jesus appearing within it all. What

The Miracle of Bad

1125) I am a thinker; in fact, I overthink way too much. Thinking through things, however, has benefited me. One thing I have pondered quite a bit is the fact that good things can come from bad; even the really bad. This, to me, is a type of miracle because Satan is great at encouraging

Who Fights Your Battles?

1124) Though there have been wars during my lifetime, I’ve never had to physically go to the war’s front and fight. Those who have probably have a very different view of life that perhaps helps you with your priorities. Experiencing war also has its price. There may be fear and anger that have rooted deeply

Focus

1123)  As an adult, I’ve had to wear progressive-lensed glasses. As most of you know, this means the top part of my lenses have one prescription and the bottom part, another. The eye doctor has to work hard on measuring where one prescription ends and the other begins and one time, that line was off

Guarded

1122) As a child, going to the pool was such a special thing. The thrill of jumping into the beautiful blue water was amazing. You could do so much: play Marco-Polo; jump off the diving board; or swim to the bottom to pick up the pebbles we tossed in. There was one thing that stood

Side by Side

1121) If you grew up with siblings, I’m sure you can remember some of the fighting and bickering you engaged in. (If you don’t, your mother probably does.) One of our consistent fights was over who got to sit in the front seat in the car. It’s a wonder to me that my parents ever

Motives

1120) We are born with “glasses,” a way we uniquely develop to perceive the world. Because of this, when we look through these lenses, we can make assumptions as to why others do and say what they do. The problem is, these glasses don’t see everything; in fact, they only see a small part of

Delightful

1119) My grandparents didn’t live in the same state we did in my growing-up years. Because of this, when they came for a visit, it was an extra special thing. I can even remember when I was small, sitting on the curb waiting for them to come and when they did, their eyes lit up
