Fast versus Slow

1913) For today’s minute, I’d like to look at a familiar verse, James 1:19. Here James instructs us to be fast in listening, and slow to speak and being angry. If I take a moment and consider these, I see there’s more to it than listening and not doing the other two.   I have

Supplements

1912) If you’ve ever gone to the vitamin and supplement aisle in a store, it can be overwhelming. There are so many bottles with labels to read and I’ve wondered how many of these things are truly helpful. I’m also astonished at how expensive many are.   I can think of one supplement which is

What We Make Time For

1911) I’ve read in multiple places that we make time to do the things we want to do. It may not be as much time as we’d like, but still, if we want to do something, there is time.   One thing many don’t need to make time for and that’s mentioned in Isaiah 2:4.

Remembering

1910) Remembering at my age is a mental maze. I find myself entering a specific path, but as I walk, I sometimes don’t remember where I was two minutes ago, not to mention where I need to be going.   Because remembering gets more difficult as we age, John 14:26 becomes even more important. It

Best in Disaster

1909) Verses like Proverbs 1:3 left me questioning a truth from God at one time. It tells us we will dwell secure and at ease if we listen to God’s words. It says if we do these things; we do not need to dread disaster.   What left me questioning is, how can I not

Give Me Peace

1908) When I read verses like John 14:27, I often have an internal conflict if I take the time to meditate on it. The verse says, (NLT) “I am leaving you with a gift — peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be

Sink Drains

1907) It’s very interesting to me that the world my young scholars are growing up in is so melded to technology, and yet, they don’t know their way around their state-issued laptops. I have to spend large chunks of time working with them so they can become reasonably proficient in the academic use of these

You Go First

1906) If you have not read about the Shackleton Expedition, you are truly missing out. My students and I read Shipwreck at the Bottom of the World by Jennifer Armstrong every year and, even though I have read it many times, I am still in awe of the leadership of Sir Earnest Shackleton and how

Liars

1905) If you have been around children, your own or “borrowed,” you learn to read body language to discern if they are telling you the truth. If they aren’t, they often will not look you in the eye. There’s a pause in their answer (or no pause at all). They come up with a reply

Quiet Giving

1904) A typical school day can hold many things. There is learning, at least, I hope, laughter, understanding, socializing, spontaneity and delight. There are also tears. A few weeks back, one of my young scholars was out in the hall crying. I went to her and asked her what was wrong. She said,” I’m just
