Cardiac Care

1152) If someone today claims they didn’t know fatty foods and inactivity are bad for the heart, they’re either lying to themselves or in denial. All over our food labels, and commercials found on television or online, you can find information about how to treat your heart better. Isn’t it interesting, though, that you find

Why Don’t You Answer Me?

1151) Have you ever asked someone for something and they don’t even acknowledge that they heard you, much less seek to do it for you? I have, and it feels like I am being ignored. Because of these feelings, I sometimes transfer it to God when I am speaking with him. When I’m pouring out

Word Power

1150) As a writer, I spend hours poring over the words I have typed on my computer screen. I will adjust sentence structure, make sure what I wrote makes sense and examine my word choices. If only I would spend the same amount of time working over the words I speak before I say them!

Anger Examined

1149)  Many people consider anger a “safe” emotion. It seems to be easier to let people see this in us than many other emotions. When I’ve considered anger and done some reading on it, I have found many in the psychology field believe it to be a “cover” for more vulnerable feelings, such as the

Getting Acquainted

1146)  Do first impressions really matter? I can see reasons why they do and reasons why they don’t.

Life and Puzzle Pieces

1145) I have a friend who loves to put together puzzles. She has done many of various difficulties, but one of them, only a 350-piece puzzle, was the most difficult for her because there was no picture on the box to go by. If she could see, at least once, what the picture was to

Mouth Guards

1144) When my students play soccer, they have to wear mouth guards. It’s interesting to watch them get used to putting them in before practice. They get to laughing as they try to speak to each other with them in because their words are muffled. Watching this, I wondered what it would be like if

Revenge Wears Many Faces

1143) They say revenge is sweet, but have you considered we’re all pretty good at getting even with others? If you’re like me, it’s easy to conclude, No! I don’t take revenge on others, but is this true? Have I ever used passive aggression with anyone? Passive aggression is getting back at someone through the
