The Greatness of Humility

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

What People Remember

906) Having been in education for over 35 years, I have seen and heard my share of motivational quotes. The administrators in education-land often dispense them to us to hopefully, I assume, encourage us to continue the hard work and stay in teaching. Many of these quotes get pushed aside because they are too general

Who is Blind?

905) There is more than one type of blindness, according to the Bible. You can be blind physically but also socially and spiritually, too. In Luke 6:37-42 there is a verse that is often incorrectly used. It says in the first part of verse 37, “Do not judge, and you will not be judged.” This

Showing Love is Showing God

904) We all have enemies or, at the very least, those who dislike us. How do you feel about them? For me, the answer to this question would depend on what they did to me because of their dislike. Did they treat me differently because they don’t like me? Did they spread nasty rumors about

Action Not Reaction

901) As a recently published author of my debut novel, The Bottle House. I learned right away that I cannot just sit back and let people come to me (or Amazon or BAM) to buy it. Instead, I have to get the book before others’ eyes. It doesn’t matter how good the book is or

Associations

900) Have you ever noticed that the people we feel drawn to are often those who have specific things in common with us? They might value a healthy lifestyle or a reckless one. They may root for the same team or that other one. It’s just natural to be drawn to others who share similar

The Dignity of Choice

899) Imagine that you have just moved to a new state. You decide to take the bull by its horns and you barge in everywhere, telling people who you are, what you can do and why you’re someone they should respect. How would this go over? Not too good, huh? What if God barged into

A Level Playing Field

898) Living in the 21st Century, those of us in the U.S.A. are not as used to “classes” of people. We may be acquainted with these from viewing TV shows set in periods of time where this was more typical, but we sometimes think this “unlevel” playing field doesn’t exist in our country. Not so.
