Grace Upon Grace

1629) It is a natural thing to notice the negative first. The things that happen during the day may run through your mind and, for many, the list of negative things comes easily, but the life God has given us contains many blessings. John 1:16 tells us we have all received grace upon grace. (Remember,

The Work of Angels

1628) There is a lot of inaccurate information in our culture about angels. One misconception is when people die, they become angels. You will not find this concept anywhere in the bible. Another one is that an angelic form of Saint Peter is going to be waiting at the gate of heaven, and he will

A Difficult Command

1627) If someone asked me what are some of the most difficult things I know that God asks of us, I would list things like controlling anger or loving our enemies. I would not have listed the first command mentioned in Titus 3:2, though it truly should be at the top of our list of

Exceeding Expectations

1626) As a published author, my success (or not) often depends on the reviews people leave of my books. Not only do these reviews hold weight with readers, it often moves my books up in the algorithm of the site which sells them. Because I understand the value of reviews, I try to be as

Predictablility

1625) A while ago, my mother gave me my “baby book” that was filled with things from my childhood. Within this book, I found a note from my kindergarten teacher, and I was amazed at her discernment of me. She wrote, when Susan can predict what is going on, then she can learn. I read

Not Alone

1622) Sometimes I’ve had to do some tough things. Just the thought of dealing with them has been overwhelming. One thing that has added to this stress is when I believe I am alone in the situation, feelings, confrontations, and more. Please note the words I believe. When I believe I am alone, I am

A Gentleman?

1621) Studying Shakespeare was always difficult for me. I found myself reading each line and having to rewrite it in my brain to figure out what he meant and this process took too long, so I’d always get bogged down. There is one line of the play King Lear that does not take me long

Enjoy

1620) As God’s children, we have so many things we need to be thinking and doing. There are rules to follow, gifts to be used and more, but there’s one thing we can sometimes forget to do and that is enjoying many of the things God has given us. Ecclesiastes 5:28 reminds us it’s a

Test Time

1619) In a school, one of the stressful times of the year is when we give our young scholars state tests. It is a time of pressure for not only the students but all the staff as well. Because of this, it is tempting to avoid the pressure and give little effort rather than fight
