Look for Yourself

967) When you are a child, you get told what to do. It’s expected that when adults issue rules, children should obey, but what about things that are not rule-oriented? Opinions? Advice? What about these? I have heard several adults lament it didn’t occur to them until well into their 30s and 40s that their

Sticking Up for Yourself

966) We hear and read a lot about the importance of personal boundaries. This is a difficult subject for me because I have always assumed that sticking up for myself is selfish. I believe that, depending on my motivation and words, it can be, but certain boundaries are necessary. Act 16:16-40, the local authorities drag

Islands are Lonely

965) I have a confession to make. I hate depending on other people. It’s not that I don’t want others’ help nor that I think my way is the only way, but when I have to rely on others, they don’t always do the job I would. They aren’t always on time or they don’t

Whose Name is on the Tag?

964) Teachers get showered with gifts at Christmas time, teacher appreciation day and sometimes the last day of school. My students come to me, often with rosy cheeks, and hold out a gift while holding their breath. Though I don’t always open them right then, depending on when it is given and what the schedule

Deliverance from Any Prison

963) I have known someone who has worked in the prison system of a large city. He has told me, often with tears in his eyes, that there is no more demoralizing and horror-filled places than it is within these walls. This is not a place where prisoners are calmly going through their days with

Playing Favorites

962) As a teacher of middle school, I often have kids ask me who in their class is my favorite. I always smile and say that I like everyone the same, but you and I both know that this is not the truth. We are all drawn to certain people more than others. It may

The Gavel

961) It is so easy to see what others are doing wrong, and there are even times when we have a warped satisfaction when we see them. These thoughts are dangerous. It helps us to overlook the very things we are doing wrong ourselves. There is something else to consider that’s dangerous too. In Acts

Active not Passive

960) There are very few times in the Bible when God does not require actions or responsibilities when he gives someone a promise. In Genesis 12, God said, Go and I will give.. (Abraham) God said, Go, for I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people out of Egypt. (Moses). The angel said,

Forgiven but not Forgotten

959) Forgiveness is a wonderful bag filled with grace, but this bag is heavy. To choose to forgive is a difficult thing and an often misunderstood step that is necessary for healing. When people thoughtlessly throw out the phrase, forgive and forget, if you give these words any consideration, you know no human can do

The Most Unlikely

958) There have been so many times in the Bible when God has chosen the least unlikely to do the greatest things. Brothers throw a boy into a well and sell him as a slave. This same boy saves the known world during a time of great famine. (Joseph) A young boy who kills a
