Enough is Enough

1654) Relationships are important. We need to nurture them to be healthy mentally, physically, and spiritually, yet even though this is true, we should not nurture all relationships. Titus 3:10 tells us there are people who spend much of their time trying to stir up trouble. There are many reasons a person may choose to

A Lot Stacked Against Us

1640) Many of us struggle in our Christian faith because we read verses like John 16:33 and read or pay attention to only the first part. It says, “…in me you (will) have peace.” Does God give us peace? Of course he does, but when we don’t read the rest of this verse, we aren’t

The Thumbprint of God

1639) As an older (or just plain old) educator, I get the pleasure of meeting and often teaching my former students’ kids. It’s uncanny how some of them look exactly like their parent did at the same age. That, of course, is because the children are the images of their parents. We find in Genesis

Cheerleaders

1638) I played basketball for many years in my youth and I found there was one thing that played with my head more than any other and that was silence. When the gym grew silent (for whatever the reason), I found playing the game more difficult. Similarly, when there is no one who is cheering

Truth Misunderstood

1637) In this life, some things are beyond dispute, yet we live in a world that insists on disputing them. An example of this is in the subject of truth. Truth really isn’t a word that’s complicated. Either something is wholly true or it’s not, but the debate of this subject started way back in

Battling Grace

1636) I have a fear, not so much of my drowning, but of watching someone else drown. I’m not sure of the origin of this, but it’s within me. When I see movies where someone is being rescued from drowning, I notice how much the person fights the one trying to save them. I know

More Thank Enough

1635) There is a valuable gift you can give to yourself, others, and God; it is the gift of gratitude. I find there are many days when activities and demands on my time happen so quickly and, one after another; I yearn for silence. One such time occurs when I turn out the light and

Leave Her Be

1634) Recently I took my young scholars sledding and snowshoeing. This year was a little different, my 6th graders went with our preschoolers. How did that go? It went very well and many of my older kids looked after the younger ones. During the events of the day, there was a little girl who went

How’s Your Eyesight?

1633) Have you ever been working at something at your desk and searched everywhere for your pencil only to discover that it is behind your ear? If someone were to witness this, they may tell you it’s obvious where your pen is. That’s because some things are obvious to others that we often overlook (or

Kissing Your Mama

1632) There is a lot to be said about how we use our words. Why? Because, as Matthew 12:36-37 tells us, we can use our words to be justified (I believe this to mean asking for salvation) or condemned (not asking, among other things). When at school, my young scholars are not allowed to use
