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

Be Gentle with People

929) Sometimes it’s hard to see outside of our own worlds. We can get caught up in our concerns, problems, work and family and not see anyone else. Because we are often focused on ourselves, we can sometimes interact with people in whatever “state” we are in. If we’re frustrated, then we may respond in

What is Your Father Like?

928) When Jesus walked the roads of this world, he referred to his father frequently. He would tell those that would listen what his father is like. He said that his father accepts those who come to him through his son. (John 14:6). He gives Jesus the authority over everything. (Matthew 11:27) His father reveals

The Darkness Does Not Win

927) It is so tempting to turn off all newsfeeds, the TV and stop reading the newspaper. There is so much wrong in the world. I see so many things that started off parallel and then one point gets just a fraction of an inch off. As time goes, that point gets further and further

You Have My Word

926) Remember when you were a kid, if you crossed your fingers, it somehow gave you a free pass to say something that was not true? I have done some reading on this practice’s origin and have found conflicting information. The bottom line is, we all have a sense that our words are important. They

The Price of a Gift Determines Its Value

925) As a child, I always hoped that there would be free samples at the grocery store where my mother took me. Sometimes it would be a small piece of sausage or a cube of cheese. It was exciting to receive something that was free. Of course, as an adult, I realize these samples really

When God Comes Looking for You

924) There have been times in my life when I felt no one sees me. These feelings often come when I am hurting, misunderstood, rejected, or lonely. I can remember one time when I sat among a crowd of people and wondered if anyone even knew I was there. Of course, these thoughts come and

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
