Passive Thinking Makes an Easy Target

1794) Passive thinking is what I use to describe the thoughts that flutter through my mind as I’m trying to go to sleep. It’s interesting to me that as my mind takes me so far, I wonder, How did I think of that? Then I can trace back how one thought led to another and

What Will It Be Like?

1793) The life we have on this earth is full of many things. There is the beauty of nature, and there is the ugliness of pollution. There is the beauty of family and the ugliness and pain of divorce. There is beauty in gifts given and received, and there is the ugliness of robbery and

Behavior vs. Value

1792) We are living in a time when many are choosing outrageous behavior. Maybe these actions are no worse than other periods of history because the internet has made it easier to see these sorts of things. When we see others taking part in outrageous behavior, we must keep in mind the words of wisdom

Water Balloons

1791) At the end of the school year, I usually have an afternoon that is set aside to honor the highest class in our school because they will move on to another school the following year. I have water balloon games, egg toss, silly string wars and more. To get ready for the event, I

Less Than

Two Gardens 1790) When I “retired” from teaching Bible, my husband and I moved to Maine. Few schools in Maine allow the teaching of the Bible, so I was reassigned to teach language arts to multiple grades of middle school kids. In order to teach in this new field, I had to take several graduate

In the Beginning

1789) Genesis is one of my favorite books of the Bible. There are so many passages that are fascinating to me and there are lessons to be learned within each chapter. For example, when Cain killed his brother, Abel, I clearly see how people can start with one disobedience and it often snowballs into actions

Always

1788) On this new day, let’s spend a moment thinking about the word always. God doesn’t always heal the sick. He doesn’t always give us what we ask. God doesn’t always change our circumstances. He doesn’t always deliver us from difficulties. God doesn’t always heal our animals. You get the idea. BUT God always gives

A Powerful Gift

1787) When Mother’s Day rolls around, I remind my young scholars. I encourage them to make a card for their mothers, letting the children know that something made from their hearts is a valuable gift. We can also give God a valuable gift. It’s found in John 14:15. Here, John simply says, Do you want

Good vs. Trouble

1786) As I read different Bible passages, I have a running dialogue with God. This perhaps sounds better than it is. I simply say, among other things, Hum or Really? When I read Nahum 1:7, The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble, I simply say, Good and Trouble? How can God

Looking Ahead

1785) If you’re at least as old as me (one who is no longer middle-aged, unless we typically live to about 120), if you had the possibility to know the future, you would scream, No Way! There are so many things if I had known ahead of time, it would have made things worse and
