Say, “Thank you!”

643) I grew up in a time when most parents taught their children to say, “Thank you”. When we received a gift, we wrote our thanks to that person. Do we do this as adults? James 1:17 reminds us that anything that comes our way that is good is a gift from God. Sometimes these

Keep Looking

642) One of the hardest facts of life a person must deal with is that difficulties are a part of living. Some difficulties are harder than others. It’s easy for this fact to side-swipe us because when it does, we may say to ourselves, why me? Sooner or later, everyone will walk down the path

The Importance of a Semi-colon

641) I did not start out as an English teacher; I have learned a lot of grammar rules as I have taught. One of these many lessons involves the semi-colon. They are an underused punctuation in my opinion. You use semi-colons when you have two independent clauses that are virtually cause and effect. For example,

Where Are Your Eyes?

640) If you are running a race, looking back over your shoulder will slow you down, at the least, or cause you to fall and keep you from the finish line. So much of my time is looking backward; my history, my choices, and my memories. As I put one foot in front of the

The Difference Between Hope and Faith

639) Sometimes people confuse “hoping for” with “faith”. The thought is that I hope that God’s promises are true versus, I believe they are. If we think God’s promises are only hopefuls, making plans and life-decisions based on this foundation would be imprudent.  If we know that God keeps His word because we’ve seen Him

What Do You Harvest?

638) If you were a farmer and you planted seeds to grow wheat, what would you do if you grew thistles instead? You most likely will destroy them because you know two things. The thistles are useless to you and there is a good possibility that these weeds will reproduce and infect your other fields

Who Do You Turn To?

637) We are admonished to come to God boldly in Hebrews 4:16 but we can overlook the words that come next in our English translations but beforeit in the Greek. This word is, throne. The word, throne, represents power and authority. I picture a child turning to a friend and asking if he can go

The Importance of Rest

636) Hebrews 4:1-11 uses the word, rest, eleven times. Though the context of these verses concerns God’s rest as in the next life in heaven with Him, it is obvious that the writer of Hebrews was using a word that his readers can understand. The importance of rest is sometimes overlooked. Jesus went out alone

The Illusion and Reality of Safety

635) Teaching middle school kids is both amazing and exasperating. I am always trying to make connections with them. Several years ago, I noticed that many of my students had a certain name brand whose insignia looked like the letter “U” with a letter “A” below it. I looked in the stores and was shocked

Imagination: Friend or Foe?

634) I have been gifted with a great imagination. Ideas for stories, lesson planning and entertainment often come easily to me. There are drawbacks for this gift, too. When I am afraid of something, my imagination makes it worse. It isn’t hard for me to “see” right away the bad in situations. Fortunately, God works
