Price Tags

1903) As Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays are approaching, I’m even more mindful of how much things cost. I remember a month or so ago; I was going to buy a piece of corned beef, to make my husband a New England boiled dinner and the cheapest cut was $38.00. I didn’t buy one. The price

Light

1902) Light at this time of the year is limited in Maine. It gets dark early and the morning light is reluctant to shine. This gets me thinking about what light does for me. It allows me to see where I’m going (or what pitfalls to avoid). Light allows me to drive through snow and

The Kingdom

1901) Because I had the privilege of being raised in the church, went to a Christian school, graduated from a Bible college and taught public school Bible for just shy of 20 years, I’m very acquainted with many Bible verses. This comes in handy so many times in my day to-day but there is a

A Lighted Pathway

1900) Since we’ve moved into winter here in Maine, it’s dark when I leave for work and in another month, it will be dark as I drive home. Because of this, it’s always good to have outdoor lights to help navigate snow and, especially, icy steps. These lights help keep me from harm. So, does

The Measure of Change

1899) For better or for worse, I am often reflecting on whether I am progressing wholly into the person I want to become. I easily recognize the times when I act or react in ways I do not wish and, no matter how many things I do right in a day, the wrong, even if

A Time to Laugh

1898) A few years ago, I met with a special group of people to sing and learn about singing for 2 ½ hours every week. We were a group who loved music and the challenge was to become better. It was also a time to laugh.   As we were organizing our group, it became

The Blessing of Giving

1897) Anyone who has given to someone something that cannot be reciprocated knows the content of Acts 20:35. Here we are told we will receive a better blessing by giving than in receiving. Because of this, Matthew 6:1is important. Here, Jesus tells us that gifts given for the dual purpose of benefiting others and making

Asking Brings Gratitude

1896) Sometimes we forget the Scriptures encourage us to ask God for things. There is no place in the Bible which tells us that asking is wrong.   My argumentative, sometimes pharisaical, brain would shut the door to this, automatically. My thinking is, you can’t ask God to give you a million dollars or to

Difficult People

1895) Living in a fallen world brings lots of challenges. One of them is that we have to deal with difficult people. These people might be in the workplace, our churches, at the doctor’s office, or at home. You know these people! The ones who make you cringe before you even interact with them. What

Approval

1894) It’s funny how you can look at a biblical passage you’ve seen many times and still see something new. This was true of me when I recently read 2 Timothy 2:15. One thing I do to help me see something new is to examine the original language in which this verse was written. Taking keywords
