Favoritism

987) My mind works in ways that both fascinate and discourage me. Though I know better in my head, somehow, I have the idea that if I am suffering, then it doesn’t “count” because there are so many others in the world who are suffering from “worse” things. I will also think because Acts 2:11

Be Careful!

986) When I read the newspaper (and yes, I still read a “real” old-fashioned one), it’s easy to sit there and shake my head. The things that people do sometimes blows my mind. I can sit there and say to myself, What in the world did that person think that made what they did right

Substitutes for God

985) I have well over 100 sick days in my school “bank”. I even had more than that when I left my teaching job in North Carolina. I am out rarely because having a substitute in my classroom makes my job more difficult afterward. Not that the substitute did a poor job. In fact, many

Mutually Encouraged

984) Sometimes encouragement is worth more than money can buy. If we are in difficult circumstances, jobs, marriages, parenting and more, receiving regularly a word or two of encouragement can be transformative. Paul knew this need for encouragement was vital. In Romans 1:11-12, he speaks of mutual encouragement. Paul knew that not only did he

Truly Amazing Grace

983) Is there ever a place that a person can be (physically, emotionally and spiritually) that is too far for God’s grace to reach? During the Roman Empire, many of the emperors’ actions were appalling. Caligula had a sexual relationship with his sisters. Nero was decadent and self-indulgent. Commodus was a complete narcissist. Caracalla massacred

Our Responsibilities

982) For those of us who were fortunate enough to have a spiritual upbringing, many of us were taught that we are to tend to our responsibilities and let our “yes be yes and (our) no be no” (Matthew 5:37). If you commit to something, you do it. Considering this, sometimes I take on more

If God is for Us

981) When something bad comes our way, whether or not we verbalize it, we often question God and ask him why? I know I do. I think that this is my attempt to make sense over the situation because if it makes sense, it’s easier for me to bear. The problem is, not everything that

Caring for Physical Needs are Important

980) Some of us have the idea that sacrificing to God is always good, so we stay up late, studying for the Sunday school lesson we will teach. Perhaps we work hard at a church function and do not get a decent meal in. We could also serve others to the point of overlooking what

Are Actions are Like Words

979) It is so easy in the U.S. to say whatever we want (with few exceptions). Many on Earth do not have the right to say what they think, so those of us who live here should be very grateful. But feeling grateful shouldn’t be the only thing we feel; we also need to harbor

Self-Advocating

978) We hear a lot these days about giving yourself “a voice.” What most people mean by this is that you are advocating for yourself. This is a scary thing for those of us that are middle-aged (or more) Christians because adults taught us that much of what we do for ourselves is selfish. Can
