Speak Up

1611) As a teacher, I regularly see incredible things kids do. I’ve seen kindness, empathy, and unselfishness. I always smile when I see kids doing these things. There is something, however, I observe that disturbs me. When I see a student (or group of students) shun another, I immediately act. I don’t only take action

Self-acceptance Considered

1610) Someone said to me once, Too much of anything can be bad. In my literal mind, I refuted this statement: How can too much of God be a bad thing? I shake my head at the black and white only mentality I had in my youth. This wasn’t the only lopsided mentality I had

Curse Words

1624) I can remember in high school reading the book of Job and something Job’s wife said in Job 2:9-10 caught my attention. Job is going through all the horrible things Satan was allowed to do to him and in the midst of his suffering, his wife says, “Well, just curse God and die.” When

Thanks a lot, God!

1609) Jealousy and self-ambition, mentioned in James 3:16, are two attitudes that are filled with poison and should be labeled as such. Jealousy is a choice that is usually associated with romantic love, but in reality, we can find jealousy in all relationships. When someone is jealous, they are figuratively crossing their arms and saying;

Here’s To the Underdog

1608) I’ve always had a heart for the underdog. In my teaching career spanning 38 years (so far), the kids who are the underdogs pull at my heart. I’m sure there are many reasons for this, but I guess it mostly comes down to the fact that I know what this feels like. Underdogs often

Faith Does Not Depend on Feelings

1607) I have mentioned before in my “minute” devotions that I have a deep-down need to feel safe. Depending on what’s going on in my life determines how great the need is. If you understand these two sentences, then you know this isn’t a very fun way to live. I cry out to God about

A Costly Gift

1606) When someone you know and love is going through something very painful, it’s hard to know what to do, but it’s an opportunity to give someone a gift that is greater and more powerful at a time like this. I have experienced it twice. When I have been at the edge of despair, two

At Least As Good

1605) I’m going to be brave and confess something some of you will understand, others, maybe not. I am scared of the next life. No, I do not doubt there is a heaven, and that Jesus paid the price for me to enter and I will be there, but there are so many unknowns that

Truth Can Be Scary

1604) I’m afraid of so many things but what’s odd is, I’m not afraid of things many others are. For example, I’m not afraid of mice, spiders and snakes (and I’m from the South, where there are many poisonous versions of the latter two). Some things I am afraid of include confrontation, unpredictable things (which

Stunned by Beauty

1603) I have been stunned by beauty a few times in my life. One was when I watched the movie Schindler’s List, directed and produced by Steven Spielberg. (Be aware, the movie earned its R rating.) In this movie, based upon a real man, Oscar Schindler hires Jews during WWII to earn money for him
