Distractions

923) My middle school classroom is at the back of our school. Looking out of my room’s window, you can see the playground and, depending on what time of day it is, you can watch and hear other classes of kids running around and shouting with joy. My students have a difficult time paying attention

Sizing People Up

922) My mother cared little about going to amusement parks. I think a good part of the reason is that she has always struggled with motion sickness and, of course, that’s what a lot of amusement park rides would give her. One time, when we went as a family to an amusement park, I asked

Seeing Isn’t Necessarily Believing

921) I grew up learning about the men and women of the Bible. I could retell their stories with details because I was so familiar with them. As I entered my teens, that rebellious streak rose that often does at this age, and I remember thinking that these people in the Bible had it a

Are You Free for Lunch?

920) I had the privilege of attending a Christian college where I had many godly men and women teach me the Bible. One particular one was my favorite, and also the favorite of many others. He was a pastor of a huge church before coming to the college and he taught us the word of

When “No” Means No

919) If you ask someone what they see in their minds when they think of God, what do you think they will answer? Maybe an old grandfatherly type of person? Maybe the image of Jesus holding a child? Maybe a thundercloud over a mountain? I sometimes think of images like this, but there is an

No Forests without Trees

918) The times I have flown out and back into The Pinetree State (Maine), I am amazed at how many forests there are. Unless I’m flying over Portland, I don’t see many buildings and all that goes along with them. What is easy to forget when viewing my state is that each forest I see

The Illusion of Wealth

917) I love to go on the Internet and look up big houses for sale all around the world. When I click on a home, there are often many photos where I can see each room and details of the entire place. Sometimes I wonder what it would feel like to be in a house

Theology from a Run-down School Bus

916) When I first came to rural Maine, many things caught my eye. I saw the beauty of wildflowers moving in the ocean breeze. I have seen the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets. I have paddled in a canoe around a lake with my husband seeing no one else the entire day. Beautiful! There is

Fish and Snakes; Eggs and Scorpions

914) If I were to take the time and sit down to put together a puzzle, knowing myself, I might look at individual pieces and think, That’s a beautiful green or This puzzle must be of picture of a garden. When, in reality, the puzzle is a picture of a monster, poised to devour someone.

The Justification of Burnout

913) I work too much. My teenage self scoffs at this because I was quite the opposite then. Not now. If I’m not teaching, I’m grading papers. If I’m not working on the prequel for my novel, The Bottle House, I’m working on “Minutes” that many of you receive daily. If I’m not doing a
