Let’s Say Grace

999) Here we go again; the subject is grace. I write about this often because I have the need to explore and understand this glorious gift. As I think about grace, my mind goes back to my first year at Bible college. I found myself in a dilemma that in my mind was horrible; a

Don’t Reject these Gifts

998) I am like most teachers; I spend a lot of my money on my students and things I use in class. I think I would be shocked to know the total amount I have spent over the past 36 years (and counting). I’m more than happy to do this, but there are a few

Love’s Test

997) When I was young, I thought I knew what love was. After all, you just need to experience it and it was like a drug. It made me feel so good, I just couldn’t get enough of it. As I grew older, I came to understand that love is demonstrated amid difficulties. When death,

Adoption

996) Through the years, I’ve known several people who have been adopted. Because I have always wondered how people think, act and react, it’s been interesting to look at these legal ties from both the adoptive parent (s) and the “adoptees”.   Many people who adopt are those who yearn to open their homes and

Nothing!

995) My students find out quickly when they arrive in my classroom at the beginning of the year that if I say, No about something, I will not change my mind 10 minutes later. It’s usually about a month before they stop asking again. I guess some of them are a little slow at learning

The Twists of Satan

Like Father, Like Son

993) I have an electric pencil sharpener in my classroom that my students are so enamored by, they gave it a name. Chewy. They love to take colored pencils to Chewy and watch and listen to its work. What is exasperating, though, is how many times they will put the same pencil in and it

Saying Grace

991) I know everyone “operates” differently. We all have unique patterns of thinking, behavior and feeling but I’m wondering if any of you are like me and, at the end of the day, I sit and reflect on all the things that were bad. I shouldn’t have said this. I shouldn’t have thought about that.

Taking Your Own Inventory

991) I know everyone “operates” differently. We all have unique patterns of thinking, behavior and feeling but I’m wondering if any of you are like me and, at the end of the day, I sit and reflect on all the things that were bad. I shouldn’t have said this. I shouldn’t have thought about that.

Shame is Deadly

990) Many have heard the words, You should be ashamed of yourself, but have you ever thought that repenting is not the same? Shame has chains that when worn, can pull someone down so far, they may never get out. Remorse, which leads to repentance, is when you realize you did wrong. You admit it
