How Loving Benefits You – Part 5

1098) As many of you know, I have a new puppy (Cayce) in my house and, though I love him, there are times I’d like to throttle him. One of these times is when I’m cooking supper and he is always at my feet. I’ll move to get something out of the refrigerator and I

How Loving Benefits You – Part 4

1097) Many years ago, in my high school classroom, I told my students to be quiet (one of many thousands of times I have done this), but then I went over to someone and made a comment that had nothing to do with the assignment. Another student looked over my way and said, without being

How Loving Benefits You – Part 3

1097) Over the years, I have had individuals say they will do something and then, when it’s time, they do not follow through and do what they committed to. Not only is this behavior poor, it is not a demonstration of love. (This type of  love in Philippians 1:9 is agapē, which is the selfless,

How Loving Benefits You – Part 2

1096) Lately, I have not had enough time (or made enough time?) to read but as I think about books which have resonated with me, The Noticer by Andy Andrews is one of them. In this story (fiction based on true events), there is an old man simply named Jones who arrives in a town

How Loving Benefits You – Part 1

1095) I have a former student whose social media posts include several pictures of her with her son. This student has beautiful red hair and her son’s hair matches hers. This son is definitely the image of his mother. Genesis 1:27 tells us God created us in his image. This image is not physical, but

Sword Fight

1094) Weapons and U.S. citizens’ rights are in the news frequently. The debate is often more about whether weapons make volatile situations better or worse than working on the problem of crime itself. When the dust of this controversy settles, when weapons are needed, if you don’t know how to use them, they can be

Helmets are Important

1093) I did so many stupid things when I was a kid. One of them involved taking my bicycle and jumping ramps that were made of flimsy pieces of plywood propped up on a couple of bricks. What could go wrong? On top of that, I never wore a helmet as many kids do today.

Radar

1092) I have been reading through the books of Corrie Ten Boom this summer and have been blessed in so many ways. If you haven’t read her work, I would encourage you to do so. She was blessed with the ability, often because of her suffering, to effectively address important things in life and one

Feet Conditons

1091) When my siblings and I were young, my parents would not allow us to run barefooted outside until we got home from the last day of school. I can distinctly remember the soft feel of grass under my feet after I took off my shoes outside on this grand day. Depending on where you

The Most Important is Vulnerable

1090) I know little about military strategies, but I have a logical mind. I understand that things, areas, and people who are or have the most power are vulnerable. If you have an enemy, on any level, and they are intelligent, they’ll look at attacking you in these areas. In places that use hand-to-hand combat,
