Angry with God?

1545)  There have been times in my life when I have gotten so angry at God, I could literally scream. These are times when the pain inside is so raw and the feeling of abandonment so real, I am tempted to turn my back on a God who claims to love me. Have you ever

Young Love

1544) When I see young people in love, I smile and shake my head. Why? Because I know what love was like early in my relationship with my husband and I know what it looks like now, 37 years later. They are two very different types of love. “Young” love is all-consuming. The glimpse of

Graciousness

1552) My husband bravely watches the news every evening, and I say bravely because there is so much angst among many and to me it gets tiring. One of the news shows my husband watches is The Five on Fox News. I’m usually doing other things while it’s on, but I’m aware of its basic

Now and Later

1542) In many ways, I’m unique. (I know, right?) Unlike many, I don’t really care for chocolate. I’ll eat it but I can take it or leave it. (Kind of like my lack of enthusiasm with lobster. I know! Seriously?) What I do love is candy and will buy some from time to time to

You’re Got to Ask

1541) Asking questions is often not a problem for me. If I’m in a meeting at school, working with an editor on a book or reading, I will ask questions to clarify things that are not clear to me. There are times though when I do find asking questions difficult. It’s when I need to

The God Who Sees

1540) I think it’s interesting I often have no problem accepting the “great” things concerning God. I accept he is omnipotent (all-powerful), omnipresent (everywhere) and omniscient (all-knowing). I have faith he created the world and the miracles in the Bible. But when it comes to accepting the “small” things concerning God, I struggle. One such

The Vine Feels Pain

1539) I remember the time when the shortest verse of the English Bible, John 11:35 – Jesus wept, hit me like a ton of bricks. Gaining the insight that Jesus cares so much about the pain of his people, even when he knows the miracles he will perform, was life-changing. I even wrote and traditionally

Who He Is and Who He’s Not

1538) I have discovered in my classroom that my students often learn more successfully if I show them what is not the way to write and then, couple it with what is. Seeing an example of not using correct punctuation such as: Let’s eat grandma versus Let’s eat, Grandma can be enlightening. I think sometimes

Don’t You Want Me?

1537) Feeling unwanted is the terrible result of rejection and this feeling seeps deep into the gut. If you feel unwanted, there is a loneliness that tarries that’s different from if you were simply alone. As a writer, I get rejections regularly. No from this magazine. No from this agent. No from this writing competition.

It’s Confusing Sometimes

1536) I need to confess that sometimes I read a passage in the Bible, I get really confused. I know! That’s coming from someone who majored in Bible, taught it for almost two decades and writes professionally about many parts of Scripture. I found one such confusing place in Matthew 12:1-8    The Pharisees, the
