My Example

2077) When I was in Bible college, I had the blessing of having the late Doctor Johnny V. Miller as a professor and later, a friend.   Johnny was always prepared in his coursework with the added blessing of having the gift of finding and teaching practical applications of God’s word.   He was serious,

Restoration

2076) I have a friend whose sister restores paintings in New York City. Her job is meticulous and methodical. I would love to see some “before” and “after” shots of her work.   As I think of restoration, I think of Psalm 23:3. Here, David writes that God restores his soul. Because of God’s mercy

An Important Responsibility

2075) I was speaking with someone the other day and we were discussing why Jesus seemed to be so hard on the religious leaders of his day.   I think there are many answers for this, but James 5:9 reminds me of one.   When God’s children do wrong things, in this case grumbling and

Molding

2074) When I was a kid, my parents got me some cans of Play-Doh. I loved rolling it out, taking the lids and pushing them into the colorful dough.   I’d carefully pull it out of the lid and I’d have an almost perfect mold of the shape and its markings.   I think of

Instead

2073) Evil exists in this world. We can see its effects everywhere. In our hometowns, schools, churches, state, country and more. If we were to force ourselves to look for it, the results can lead to despair.   Some choose not to look, you know, out of sight, out of mind. That’s sometimes a good

God Remembers

2072) There are all sorts of phrases in the English language that have a significant reason to ponder them before you repeat them.     One is sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me. This saying should be shelved and never retrieved. It truly is a ridiculous statement.

A Working Rest

2071) Lately, rest is something I don’t feel I have an abundance of. I teach full-time, run a writing and sewing business, not to mention the things I’d like to do on my own time.   When I see a verse like Matthew 11:28-30, I take a deep breath. After all, Jesus tells me to

Judgment and Grace

2070) I am much more acquainted with judgment than I am grace. Judgment seems natural to me. You do something wrong; you’re judged and punished.   Grace seems complicated to me. I do something wrong and forgiveness is offered. I’m given eternal life just for asking for it, in Jesus’ name. That’s what I find

Reflections

2069) The study of the human eye is very interesting. How light bounces off objects and goes to our brain through the cornea is amazing.   One thing stands out to me in these thoughts. It’s the objects being in light that make our sight possible. In a completely dark room, we cannot see.

Miracles and Such

2068) I believe in miracles. I’ve read about them in the Bible. I’ve heard of God’s miracle power in this life but, I sometimes think there have been no miracles in mine.   As I think about this, it quickly comes to mind that God has moved in this way in my life through divine
