649) Because I find words fascinating, it is not unusual that I look up the origins for some of our everyday words. The concept of blame, or better put, deflection is an interesting word. it has a Latin origin that means, to bend away from yourself. The idea is that in deflecting, a person takes

What’s God Waiting For?

648) From the day that God told Noah to build an ark until the flood arrived was 120 years. The Israelites were slaves in Egypt 430 years before God delivered them. Forty years passed until God brought His people into the Promised Land. It was thousands of years before Jesus was born and when will

In a Little While

647) Remember as a child when Christmas Eve seemed like a week while waiting for the morning? Time seemed so slow. Aging has made time pass quickly but God has told us again and again that this life is but a “blip” on the eternity timeline. This is hard for our human minds to grasp.

Watch

646) I love to go for walks and where I live, I need to consider the fact that there are wild animals around. Very few of them can be dangerous, but one time on a walk, I encountered a black bear, eating blueberries. I remember it stood up and my heart skipped a few beats.

The Importance of a Semi-colon

641) I did not start out as an English teacher; I have learned a lot of grammar rules as I have taught. One of these many lessons involves the semi-colon. They are an underused punctuation in my opinion. You use semi-colons when you have two independent clauses that are virtually cause and effect. For example,

Where Are Your Eyes?

640) If you are running a race, looking back over your shoulder will slow you down, at the least, or cause you to fall and keep you from the finish line. So much of my time is looking backward; my history, my choices, and my memories. As I put one foot in front of the
