Support Groups

1414) I’ve never been a member of an official support group but have belonged to groups of people who support each other. The reason support groups are so valuable is because this life is hard and, it can be cruel. When these things come your way (and if they haven’t yet, just wait), standing alone

Free isn’t Free

1413) When there are sales at local businesses, I’ll sometimes see, buy one, get one free and variations of this. It’s smart to feature these sort of sales because people find a good deal hard to pass up. If you take a moment, however, to think about these deals, they often are not really free

Public Speaking

1412) Speaking in front of a group of people used to horrify me. I remember in the eighth grade; I had to do a science report in front of my class and I was so scared, my face broke out in hives. Now, it doesn’t rattle me at all. Why? Because I’ve had to do

Follow the Leader

1411) There are times at school when I take my kids outside and we play some games like I did when I was their age. We’ll play Duck, Duck, Goose or Tag and sometimes Jump the Creek. It is interesting to me how much fun the kids have just playing these simple games. There is

The blisters on my face were hideous and when I went to multiple doctor’s offices, people in the waiting rooms moved away from me, probably thinking whatever I had was contagious. I wasn’t, but they didn’t know that. Today’s verse, Proverbs 11:17, reminds me

The Rearview Mirror

1406) One of my unhealthy tendencies is to spend too much time in the past. Do I think there is much to be discovered and learned from things gone by? Of course, but when it crosses the line is when this focus is not helpful. One such example is when I beat myself up for

Royalty

1405) When I was in Gibraltar in the summer of 1981, we had a wonderful experience. We got to see the newlyweds, Prince Charles (now, King Charles) and Princess Diana because they stopped there on their honeymoon. It was an exciting event, and the city embraced it with a celebration. It is something I vividly

Tradition!

1403) Musicals are not really my thing, but I can sing along with almost all the songs in Fiddler on the Roof. The title of this minute gives away which song I want to focus on, Tradition! Traditions are a good thing. They help us remember what people value, and have the power to bring
