Words of Importance

786) One thing that drives my husband and I crazy is that our local weatherman will use the term, “as well” as many as 6 times or more in a brief weather forecast. For me, as a writer, I cringe hearing these words over and over because they mean nothing. Repeated words, however, can illustrate

A Good Neighbor Is . . .

785) One of my favorite classic TV shows is Andy Griffith. I realize that the TV world doesn’t always reflect reality, but there’s something endearing about that show. We see a town whose inhabitants work together and share of themselves. They help where needed and know when someone is sick so they can take a

The Greatest of These . . .

784) Have you noticed that the hot movies that are making the most money are often superhero themed. I’m thinking that many love the idea of having powers that extend beyond the abilities of humans. Yes, I think having many of these powers would be fun and might level the playing field of humanity. It

Natural Circumstances

783) When we hear the word consequences, it’s common to think of the negative ones, but consequences, simply put, are results from one’s actions–good or bad. Proverbs 2:7 tells us that the upright will be successful. So, using this definition, success results from being upright–doing what is right. Sometimes it may seem that doing right

I Am a Whole Lot better and Worse

782) There is a song that came out by The Choir that when I first heard it (What You Think I Am), it caught my attention. The whole song resonates around one important line within it. It is, “I’m a whole lot better and a whole lot worse than what you think I am.” Candid

Being Thankful is Expensive

781) Psalm 50:14 speaks about being thankful and that it is a sacrifice to God. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 tells us to give thanks for everything. When I first consider this, it seems logical to me when someone brings me something I want; I am thankful, but what about when life brings me what I don’t

The Pain of Avoidance

780) I was in my 5th decade of life before I realized that the need to be in “control” of things is really the symptom of avoidance. I somehow got the idea that to control what pain may come my way, such as not getting close to others or getting another pet, I could avoid

Who Inherits and Other Difficult Things

779) I have read multiple accounts of families who have been torn apart in anticipation or in the throes of inheritance issues. Even when things have been specifically listed in a will of who gets what, there are often hurt feelings that can lead to a future of fractures within the family unit. If the

To the Very End

778) Our relationships with people are complicated. The life of some of them is for brief periods of time and others continue long past what is healthy. The closeness of these relationships depends on a mind-boggling number of circumstances. Even those relationships that we feel should be “forever” in this world, such as with family

Help Comes in Different Forms

777) I cannot speak for you, but when I lift my prayers to God, I have specific ideas of how I want Him to answer me. When I ask Him for specific things, I look to see Him provide it in the timing and manner that I have imagined. The problem with this is that
