Free isn’t Free

1413) When there are sales at local businesses, I’ll sometimes see, buy one, get one free and variations of this. It’s smart to feature these sort of sales because people find a good deal hard to pass up. If you take a moment, however, to think about these deals, they often are not really free

Public Speaking

1412) Speaking in front of a group of people used to horrify me. I remember in the eighth grade; I had to do a science report in front of my class and I was so scared, my face broke out in hives. Now, it doesn’t rattle me at all. Why? Because I’ve had to do

Follow the Leader

1411) There are times at school when I take my kids outside and we play some games like I did when I was their age. We’ll play Duck, Duck, Goose or Tag and sometimes Jump the Creek. It is interesting to me how much fun the kids have just playing these simple games. There is

How God Makes Insignificant Valuable

What’s wrong? Nothing. What are you doing in there? Nothing. What did you say? Nothing. It’s interesting to me that the word, “nothing”, is often used to mask the word, “something”. There is always something. There is something wrong. There is something the child is doing. There is something I dared to say, even if it was a whisper. Because many

Who Would You Hire?

1410) In John 10:1-21, Jesus spoke of the business of raising sheep and says, specifically, that he is the Good Shepherd and describes how he cares for his sheep. Jesus also describes those who are not the Good Shepherd. These people consider it their job to steal sheep and probably sell or destroy them. Jesus

Contagious Behaviors

1409) I had a serious case of shingles several years ago. The blisters on my face were hideous and when I went to multiple doctor’s offices, people in the waiting rooms moved away from me, probably thinking whatever I had was contagious. I wasn’t, but they didn’t know that. Today’s verse, Proverbs 11:17, reminds me

The Value of Memorials

1408) If you have been to Arlington National Cemetery, you know the feeling of awe that may have moved through your body. There are approximately 400,000 people buried in 639 acres. When I stood amidst these gravestones, my mind went to times in our history when many of these people gave the ultimate sacrifice. As

Healthy Fruit

1407) For those of you who don’t live in the Carolinas or Georgia, you may miss out on the best peaches on God’s green earth. Just thinking about them makes my mouth water. I remember getting baskets of peaches at the farmer’s market and most of them were almost the size of softballs. You take

The Rearview Mirror

1406) One of my unhealthy tendencies is to spend too much time in the past. Do I think there is much to be discovered and learned from things gone by? Of course, but when it crosses the line is when this focus is not helpful. One such example is when I beat myself up for

Royalty

1405) When I was in Gibraltar in the summer of 1981, we had a wonderful experience. We got to see the newlyweds, Prince Charles (now, King Charles) and Princess Diana because they stopped there on their honeymoon. It was an exciting event, and the city embraced it with a celebration. It is something I vividly
