To the Very End

778) Our relationships with people are complicated. The life of some of them is for brief periods of time and others continue long past what is healthy. The closeness of these relationships depends on a mind-boggling number of circumstances. Even those relationships that we feel should be “forever” in this world, such as with family

Help Comes in Different Forms

777) I cannot speak for you, but when I lift my prayers to God, I have specific ideas of how I want Him to answer me. When I ask Him for specific things, I look to see Him provide it in the timing and manner that I have imagined. The problem with this is that

Just Getting By

775) Teaching middle school kids spelling skills is an enormous challenge. I believe there are many reasons for this but, in class, when we’re going through the weekly spelling list, my students and I have a chant that we usually wind up saying at least once a week. When I spell a specific word out

God’s Resume

773) Consider that you are someone who employs several people. What if you had someone apply for a job at your place of business who was loving, truly cared about you, your business, your work ethic and coworkers? What if this same person had a reputation for being faithful? When you ask him/her to do

I See You

772) Sometimes when I read the Bible, I get confused. On the one hand, God says in Psalm 34:15 that His eyes are on the righteous. What confuses me is that I know God watches over everyone, even those who are not His. Is this a contradiction? No, I don’t think so. As a classroom

A Taste Test

771) My all-time favorite author is Jan Karon. Her Mitford novels not only delight me but also strengthen my faith. In one of her books, the local Episcopalian priest attends a town-wide carnival. There is a petting zoo and a little girl stands at the fence watching the animals longingly, but she’s too afraid to

A Cosmic Grandfather

770) Some people were raised to believe that God sits up in heaven, watching people and is poised to zap anyone who does something wrong. I know very few people would admit or acknowledge this, but in words and actions, this is the conclusion. A few others were raised to believe that God is like

Everyday Worship

769) Sometimes we get the idea that the only way we can worship God is in our churches, prayers, and other Christian gatherings. Yet, I want to suggest to you we can also worship God in the everyday tasks. I have a friend who has repeatedly told me he considers his piano playing as worship.

The Value of Peace

765) We are living in a time where peace is a rare thing. I even wonder if people around us believe it exists. If we could put peace up for auction, there would be a bidding war and only the wealthiest would have a shot at obtaining it. Why? Because peace cannot be manufactured. It

A Sheep Song

764) Sheep, like many other animals of their size, are vulnerable to predators. They cannot run as fast as a gazelle, so a natural enemy, wolves, coyotes and mountain lions, can successfully kill them for food. In Bible times, sheep were valuable. Their wool was used to make clothing, they were eaten and certain ones
