“The” Versus “A”

939) If you ask for directions somewhere, my husband will give one set, and I will give another. Are one of these better than the other? Well, it depends on the person receiving the directions. In my husband’s mind, you travel north down so-and-so road 3 miles and then take a left, going west on

Love is a Verb

938) It’s interesting to teach kids who are in their early teens. The love bug comes into my classroom and I see the kids act in ways that are amusing. I’ll see looks exchanged across the room. I’ll see terrible attempts to pass notes, which, to their horror, I often intercept. I sense a giddiness

Jesus Wept

937) The theme of my novel, The Bottle House, is built around the eleventh chapter of John. When the seeds of this book were planted in the soil of my mind (I believe by God), I was caught up emotionally on several things within this chapter. I could understand Mary and Martha’s urgent message to

Gate are Important

936) When I was small, the house where my family and I lived had a fenced yard. I suppose, as a parent, it was a handy thing when your children are small. The gate protected us from going anywhere outside the fence and getting hurt. This same gate protected us by stopping people or animals

Do You Recognize the Voice?

935) When I was young, my brother got a tape recorder for Christmas. I remember that all of us kids would sit down and record us saying silly things, making noises and such and then we’d play it back and laugh. What I also remember was how strange it seemed to hear my voice on

I Hate Confrontation

934) I hate confrontation. In fact, I will do just about anything to avoid it. I don’t think it’s a bad thing to avoid conflict if you cannot settle things in other ways, but when I choose not to confront, I may add more problems on my shoulders. In John 9, many make the choice

The Hard Truth about Difficult Circumstances

933) I can remember a time when I was young that I didn’t really have experience with the difficulties of life. Though being frustrated with a sibling or something of that nature, I did not know, experientially, about death, separation, betrayal, disease, and more. As I got older, I pieced together that my actions or

Rule-followers

932) I am a rule-follower. If I have a responsibility, it gets done, and it doesn’t even occur to me to question what I’ve been told to do. Being a rule-follower has some advantages. You can evaluate how you are doing on the job. For the rule-followers, there is very little that’s gray; it’s black

Fair-weather Followers

931) There are many people who are fair-weather followers of God. When they need something, they turn to him. When circumstances of this life are over-whelming, they run right to God. When a loved one is desperately ill, they request prayers for God’s intervention. Turning to God during these circumstances can be a very good

Taking People at Their Word

930) In my novel, The Bottle House, there is a character (Stefan) who is an attorney, who, for understandable reasons, is angry with God. The collector of bottles, Chaplain Miller, cuts right to the chase with Stefan, reflecting that they both remember a time when two people verbally agreed on something, shook hands on it
