Stop: A Difficult Command

1543) I work with a bunch of people who take their jobs teaching and administrating on behalf of the children in our area seriously. They are people who give 150%, every day of the school year. Working in education is not for the faint of heart. Oh, yes, we have two months off during the summer

Graciousness

1552) My husband bravely watches the news every evening, and I say bravely because there is so much angst among many and to me it gets tiring. One of the news shows my husband watches is The Five on Fox News. I’m usually doing other things while it’s on, but I’m aware of its basic

Now and Later

1542) In many ways, I’m unique. (I know, right?) Unlike many, I don’t really care for chocolate. I’ll eat it but I can take it or leave it. (Kind of like my lack of enthusiasm with lobster. I know! Seriously?) What I do love is candy and will buy some from time to time to

You’re Got to Ask

1541) Asking questions is often not a problem for me. If I’m in a meeting at school, working with an editor on a book or reading, I will ask questions to clarify things that are not clear to me. There are times though when I do find asking questions difficult. It’s when I need to

The God Who Sees

1540) I think it’s interesting I often have no problem accepting the “great” things concerning God. I accept he is omnipotent (all-powerful), omnipresent (everywhere) and omniscient (all-knowing). I have faith he created the world and the miracles in the Bible. But when it comes to accepting the “small” things concerning God, I struggle. One such

The Vine Feels Pain

1539) I remember the time when the shortest verse of the English Bible, John 11:35 – Jesus wept, hit me like a ton of bricks. Gaining the insight that Jesus cares so much about the pain of his people, even when he knows the miracles he will perform, was life-changing. I even wrote and traditionally

Who He Is and Who He’s Not

1538) I have discovered in my classroom that my students often learn more successfully if I show them what is not the way to write and then, couple it with what is. Seeing an example of not using correct punctuation such as: Let’s eat grandma versus Let’s eat, Grandma can be enlightening. I think sometimes

Don’t You Want Me?

1537) Feeling unwanted is the terrible result of rejection and this feeling seeps deep into the gut. If you feel unwanted, there is a loneliness that tarries that’s different from if you were simply alone. As a writer, I get rejections regularly. No from this magazine. No from this agent. No from this writing competition.

It’s Confusing Sometimes

1536) I need to confess that sometimes I read a passage in the Bible, I get really confused. I know! That’s coming from someone who majored in Bible, taught it for almost two decades and writes professionally about many parts of Scripture. I found one such confusing place in Matthew 12:1-8    The Pharisees, the

A Grief Misunderstood

1534) In this life, we have enemies. These people may not be on the other side of a rifle, but their ammo can be just as deadly. Sometimes these people may be family members or fellow Christians. When our enemies fit into these groups, the pain can be even greater. I think the writer of
