Theology from a Run-down School Bus

916) When I first came to rural Maine, many things caught my eye. I saw the beauty of wildflowers moving in the ocean breeze. I have seen the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets. I have paddled in a canoe around a lake with my husband seeing no one else the entire day. Beautiful! There is

God is . . . What?

915) As I read the passage In Luke 11:14-28, something jumped off the screen in these verses that I never considered and I’d like to share it with you. In these verses, Jesus drove a demon out of a man and then the religious leaders say that it was by Beelzebub’s (Satan’s) power that he

Fish and Snakes; Eggs and Scorpions

914) If I were to take the time and sit down to put together a puzzle, knowing myself, I might look at individual pieces and think, That’s a beautiful green or This puzzle must be of picture of a garden. When, in reality, the puzzle is a picture of a monster, poised to devour someone.

The Justification of Burnout

913) I work too much. My teenage self scoffs at this because I was quite the opposite then. Not now. If I’m not teaching, I’m grading papers. If I’m not working on the prequel for my novel, The Bottle House, I’m working on “Minutes” that many of you receive daily. If I’m not doing a

Give Them Something to Eat

912) One gift that God has given me is an aptitude in technology. When I have some electronic equipment I have to hook up to a network, I can close my eyes and literally see the flow of sound and data as it runs through the wires, allowing me to hook everything up properly. Even

The Value of Sparrows

Pages 260-261 – The Bottle House “Stacy, I’m holding one of God’s promises right here. Do you know what kind of feather this is?” “No, I don’t know much about birds at all.” “This is a feather from a sparrow—the most common bird in the world. They’re everywhere, nesting in top windows of our cities’

Is God a Doormat?

911) If we were living in a time when the Old Testament law was the standard of godliness, I think it would make my faith easier. Why? Because here are the set of rules that I must keep and I simply work at obeying them. But now that Jesus was born, lived and died in

When God Asks a Question

910) Sometimes parents (and teachers, too) ask a child a question they already know the answer to. These are times when the adults are giving the opportunity for the child to communicate something they may not have considered or to admit a wrong-doing. Throughout the Bible, God asks people questions about these same things. The

Fear of the Unknown

909) I was listening to a podcast the other day, and the narrator asked the hypothetical question, If you could know the future ahead of time, would you want to? As these words worked their way around my brain, I conclude that, no; I don’t want to know what is going to happen ahead of

The Depth of Gratitude

907) We are living in a culture who preaches there is a  great need for self-care. To a certain extent, I agree. Though no one ever stated it as I was growing up, I got the idea that to take care of yourself is sinful. That may be true sometimes, but at others, it is
