Do You Trust Me?

860) There are those who are insecure and constantly question whether their spouse, coworker, boss, or preacher (to name a few) are trustworthy. Because of this, perhaps we need to figure out when we consider them trustworthy. Usually this happens as the relationship between you strengthens. After all, it would be foolish to trust someone

Taking Someone’s Word for It

859) In my recently released novel, The Bottle House, the chaplain is speaking with an individual (Stefan) who has become angry with God because he didn’t feel that God was trustworthy. The chaplain makes a comment about how it used to be common to take someone at their word, but now, it’s almost foolish to

Worrier

858) I have always been a worrier. My husband will sometimes be frustrated with me (as he is not a worrier) and will say, “What good does it do?” He’s right, of course, but sometimes I have the ridiculous idea that the more I worry about something, the more it shows me dedication and/or commitment

Satisfaction

857) Having taught teenagers for so many years, I know for a fact that a sign of immaturity is when someone wants something and they want it now. For example, a car. Many teenaged boys dream of a car or truck they would like and they want it on the exact day they can drive

Privacy

856) So much of our lives are no longer private, thanks to the Internet and social media. You don’t even have to post regularly and your digital footprint is being recorded. I’m glad that I don’t know to what extent my life is not private because I think it would freak me out. In Matthew

Blessings

855) There are small things that happen in our lives that are huge. For example, I rarely go to a fast food or coffee shop drive-thru (mainly because where I live, there aren’t many). Recently, I went through one and the person before me paid for my coffee. I remember thinking, “Wow! That was so

The Example

854) In Matthew 5:43-48, Jesus speaks about how to respond to our enemies. He tells us to love our enemies and pray for those that mistreat us. After all, Jesus said, it’s easy to be nice to those who are nice to us. The rub comes when we are told to love and pray for

Before not After

853) It’s easy these days to get someone angry at you and, if not angry, irritated. Grace is sometimes hard to find among people. Isn’t it funny that we can so quickly recognize the ill-treatment others give us and not see the ill-treatment we give to others? Matthew 5:23-24 instructs us that before we come

Some Things Never Change

852) It is very nice to read, see or hear a heartwarming story of someone who is kind to and makes things better for someone else. We all need these moments of brightness because we also live around people who are only out to make things better for themselves. Matthew 5:11-12 reminds us that there

A Snapshot of a Nation

851) We live in a country that supposedly embraces everyone. We take pride because people can live in the U.S. and be of different races and religions. I believe these things are true, but not to the extent we would like to think. There are people who live in the U.S. who are treated poorly
