A Light

1943) I have never been afraid of the dark, even as a child. It kind of surprises me because I’m afraid of so many things. I must say, however, that having lights burning in my kitchen windows is a welcome sight at night. It helps me find my way around and it brings an unspoken

Be Aware

1942) We watched a movie several years ago that left an impression on me. It was Judgment at Nuremberg with Spencer Tracy. The Nuremberg trials were part of the prosecution of war criminals during WWII. In this case, judges were on trial for what they did that led to horrific things during that time.

Bearing

1941) Everyone is carrying burdens that are often not seen by others. No matter how together someone seems, below the surface, there can be an element of pain. It’s hard to remember this, as we don’t always see when someone else is struggling or suffering.   When we do know of other’s difficulties, what do

Motivation

  1940) We live in a day of grace. That’s a difficult swallow if you’re someone who has grown up in the church. Why? Because the teachings of following God’s laws and instructions were at the top of what many churches emphasize.   Is this emphasis wrong? I don’t think it has to be. What

I See You

1939) There have been many times in my life I would take a long walk, cry out to God, figuratively and literally, and wonder if God sees me in my pain and situation. I’ve yelled out his name, and I’d look to the sky and say, Do you hear me? Do you see me? If

Living Water

1938) Everyone has a way they present themselves in public. Perhaps you make sure you look your best. Or maybe you use language you normally wouldn’t at home. Many of us want to put our best foot forward, but when you’re home, in the quiet, what are you really like?   Are you happy? Scared?

Different Thoughts

1937) It amazes me there are some on social media and other digital platforms who say there is no difference between the sexes. When I hear this, I laugh. See if this rings true for you: My husband will talk about the west end of the house or the road north of the interstate. I

When Clothes Burn

1936) When I was younger, I was more prone to taking risks. I didn’t think about the future, I just thought of the now. This wasn’t necessarily bad; it’s just a thing youth often do freely.   There are risks in this life which are necessary. You may need a specific medical procedure, but there

Am I Safe?

1935) Every year, I get to take my young scholars on ropes courses. It’s usually a day that’s filled with adrenaline and success. I used to get up there and do it all with them but now, even though I am completely harnessed and safe, my feelings of dread, and, yes, fear fill me.

Just the Way It Is

1934) I know someone who uses all that is within them to reject God and make a mockery of the Christian faith. Whenever I am around this person, the sorrow in my heart grows so strongly, it almost stops my breath.   I have wondered why this person is so full of hatred toward God,
