A Valid Point

1464) I had a recent conversation with a friend who became very animated when speaking of a person who claims to be “religious.” (This was her word, not mine. I actually hate that word, but that’s another minute devotion by itself.) Anyway, the gist of what she was saying is, if you claim to be

Wake-up Call

1463) Sometimes in life we experience the betrayal of someone who was supposed to be our ally. This person was someone who supported you and then, they shift and leave you left standing by yourself. These moments always bring heartache. James 1:6 describes this very thing when one moment, we are putting our trust in

Perspective

1462) Quite a while ago, I read Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl. The Nazis sentenced Frankl, a psychiatrist, to Auschwitz (and several other camps) where he lost most of his family members. His insight into the human experience of suffering is powerful. Frankl said, “Forces beyond your control can take away everything you

Have a Good Day

1461) We throw around the words, “Have a good day” frequently and we all would like to have it, but have you ever stopped to ponder what does make a good day? Or perhaps we need to phrase this as what is something that, if it’s in place, we have a better chance of having

Safe!

1460) In the spring of the year COVID closed everything down, we teachers did many things to keep our kids progressing academically, as well as emotionally. One thing we did was meet in a car caravan and we drove by all our students’ houses and blew our horns and waved. Doing this simple thing twice

Consider Opposites

1459) When I attempt to communicate a specific concept and I struggle to do so, I might go in the opposite direction and describe what it is not. For example, if I’m trying to describe mercy, I can choose to tell what mercy is not. There are some very familiar verses about the tongue in

Watch Out!

1458) I have read somewhere that dogs have the intelligence of a small child. I’m guessing, however, that there are dogs which are more advanced and ones which are less capable. My dog Cayce seems to be in the more intelligent category, at least, compared to the three other dachshunds I have had. The commands

You are a Minister

1457) Sometimes we can get the idea that to be a Christian who is successfully doing the work of God, we need to be in full-time Christian service, like the chaplain in my novel, The Bottle House. This thought, thankfully, is not true. We can be a minister to God every day. How? In Romans

The Gift of Just Barely Surviving

1456) If you’re like me, I desire a painless life, and if it’s unavoidable, I pray to God to either take it away or give me the strength to overcome it. I do not pray to just get by, or barely survive. My question then becomes, does just getting by in this life equal a

Stand Up!

1455) I hate it when people quote things and attribute them to the Bible when they are not. For example, God works in mysterious ways. William Cowper wrote this in 1773. Another one is, God helps those who help themselves. This is also not a quote from the Bible and often, the Bible teaches the
